Stories In Stone

Stories In Stone is an RPG about a tribe exploring an ancient world and trying to survive in a new land. You gather resources, train with your master, grow stronger by learning skills and forge a bond with your wolf.

Modes

Choose between two ways to experience the story:

• Full RPG experience: includes combat and strategy, and takes 10–18 hours.
• Adventure Mode: removes combat and strategy while keeping the story, puzzles and exploration; it takes 4–6 hours.

Exploration and progression

Exploration provides much of your progression. Find items to raise your stats, and discover items needed to learn some of the strongest skills. Your party animals can also be upgraded with items: their HP and SP increase with each level, while you choose how to develop their other stats. EV points let you learn new skills, including from the start, so you can build synergies across your team.

Combat and survival

Battles use skills that can push or pull enemies, changing which skills they can use and affecting some of their stats. Position enemies to line up several for a single attack, and be ready for timed button presses required by some skills.

Between battles, eat or hunt small animals such as bats, squirrels and lizards to restore health and recover SP for skills. You also need enough stamina to dash. Plants found in the environment can instantly refill stamina, reveal hidden tracks or grant temporary power.

Puzzles and areas

Use clues in your journal to solve puzzles, or work them out on your own. Each area offers puzzles and different ways to use the plants around you.
