Granite Noir

Granite Noir is a single-player game built around a shared, evolving world shaped by players’ wishes. You enter a dark room with a timer set to 02:00:00 and a black granite monolith bearing inscriptions left by previous players. The room may already reflect their wishes, or it may contain only darkness and the timer.

Make a wish

When the timer reaches 00:00:00, a button appears. You can make one wish: a permanent addition to the game, engraved on the monolith. Every wish is implemented, with the time required ranging from hours to weeks or months depending on its complexity. Wishes that are impossible or offensive are interpreted and implemented in a way intended to honor them; requests for multiplayer features are adapted to fit the solo experience.

Shape the shared world

Each wish affects the world experienced by players who follow. You can contribute to a collaborative direction, go against the community’s expectations or leave your own mark. If a wish changes the experience in an unwanted way, a later player may wish for a change in response, or the world may develop in another direction.

A changing experience

The game remains single-player, but all players share the same evolving world. Its features and environment grow from the accumulated wishes, so the result can develop in ways no one, including the developers, could predict. Each player can make only one wish, ever.
