“The work you’re celebrating and documenting here feels as much yours as the creators, and these shots of vanished worlds acquire a poignance no save file would match.”
Kotaku UK

“Games like Quiet as a Stone remind me of how beautiful and genuinely cool is it to be so engrossed with an artificial space. I’ve gone from level to level until I’ve found the perfect arrangement of ruins, zooming in close to admire them before framing them with my camera with the perfect combination of distance, light, and color. It helped me to see the beauty in small things: the errant blade of grass that slid into view, a serendipitously-shaped rock heap, the flickering heat of a fire slithering through mist. And it was all right at my fingertips.”

“The zen gardening of this microscopic tree plopper is on another level.”

About This Game

Moments of Calm in a Crumbling World

Drift into a world that has already ended, and find the beauty that remains.

Quiet as a Stone is a slow-paced, atmospheric toy designed for those who wish to curate moments of stillness.

Set against a backdrop of autumnal twilight and ancient history, you will explore small, procedural dioramas. From the moss on a fallen pillar to the crackle of a campfire, every element is yours to manipulate, photograph, and contemplate.

Accept transience and imperfection.

Observe: Watch the day turn to night, the weather shift from a crisp morning to rolling fog, the light casts across weathered stone, rain falls and the petrichor rises.

Interact: Click to slash through overgrowth, mine ancient stones for magic gems, and discover hidden artifacts. There is no rush. The stones have waited centuries; they can wait for you.

Create: Use your gathered gems to place trees, ruins, and foliage. Transform a barren rock into a shrine. Create, Photograph then let go.

Key Features

A Digital Canvas: A hybrid of landscape gardening and 3D diorama building. No grids, no strict rules—just organic placement of rocks, ruins, and trees.

Generative Atmosphere: A dynamic, realistic audioscape that reacts to your scene, perfect for relaxation or focus.

The Photographer’s Eye: A robust Photo Mode with controls for aperture, exposure, color grading, and filters. Capture your vignette before it fades forever.

The Cycle of Impermanence: There is no management or pressure. You visit a location, capture its beauty, and move on to the next discovery.

Subdued Aesthetics: A visual palette of ochre, olive, orange and slate. The ambience of autumn.

Is Quiet as a Stone for you?

Play this if: You love taking screenshots in games, you enjoy the sound of rain against a window, or you are looking for a low-stress "second monitor" experience to help you unwind.

Look elsewhere if: You are seeking a complex city-builder, strategy, action, or a traditional "Clicker" with exponential math progression.

All that is good must pass away
