Our take on STONE
The page foregrounds drinking, dancing, smoking, music, films and free roaming, but the central format is a story experience with no shooting, conventional gameplay, or winning and losing. That distinction matters for anyone expecting a mechanically driven detective adventure.
What is STONE?
Play as Stone, a hungover koala detective whose lover, Alex, has been kidnapped.
This single-player, third-person interactive story combines walking, conversation, drinking, dancing, smoking, watching films, using a sauna and exploring a map-based world. Locations include a home, a music venue and a record shop. The story includes a cast of characters, licensed tracks from independent musicians across hip hop, trap, stoner rock and techno, plus classic films such as Sentimental Bloke, Night of the Living Dead and Story of the Kelly Gang. The store page presents it as a feature-length narrative experience without shooting, conventional gameplay systems or winning and losing.
