Summer Event, New Items, and Stone Story RPG on Mobile
After 9 long years of development and 4 years of Early Access, the team is ready to fully launch Stone Story RPG! A lot of work has gone into making this game, and we're thankful for each and every player that has supported the game along the way. We've got quite a few plans in store on the road to launch, and we hope you'll join us for the ride!
We're excited to bring new items to add to your in-game collections! This update introduces new "Golden" cosmetics for your gear.
Golden items come in sets based around Lost Item skins. Each set consists of 5 Golden items; collect all 5 and you earn the corresponding Golden Lost Item!
These lustrous item skins can be found in Golden Chests, which are obtained in-game through a variety of ways. One such way to claim a Golden Chest is to make use of the new Referral System! The Referral System is available in-game after you have completed any weekly quest on your Quest Stone (Weekly Quests are obtained through the Legend quest, "Remnants of Five"). Access Referrals via the Quest Stone, copy the code shown on-screen, and share it with a friend. When they redeem it in-game, both of you will earn a Golden Chest!
Want to test it out for yourself? Use the code SSRPG for a one-time gift!
Mark your calendars, because we've got a host of events coming up for Stone Story RPG:
Weve come a long way together, haven't we Stoneheads? Back in 2019, we had a clear vision for Stone Story RPG. Much has changed in the past few years, but we continue to drive the project forward with those original goals. That said, its become increasingly difficult to to survive in gaming, let alone as an indie developer. Its with that context that we ask for your understanding as we plan to increase the price of Stone Story RPG from $19.99 USD to $29.99 USD upon transitioning out of Early Access. That said, we do have a price-free alternative!
Stone Story RPG will be free-to-play and globally available for Android and iOS on July 27th! The mobile port of the game will have near identical content to the PC version and will be F2P. Some systems and functions have been added for use on mobile, but for players looking to have the full SSRPG experience, this version will be functionally the same. A key difference in the mobile build is that some of the shop prices will be different, but if you have played Stone Story RPG on PC then you will be able to transfer your progress back and forth across platforms. We hope that you all look forward to its release! The price change will take effect upon exiting Early Access. Until then, be sure to pick the game up while it's discounted. https://store.steampowered.com/app/603390/Stone_Story_RPG/
The team has gone back and forth on this, as we understand that price is a sensitive issue when it comes to video games. At the end of the day, we need to be realistic about the cost it takes to create a product like a game. The passion behind the project has carried it to heights we never thought possible. Having people across the world enjoy our game has been an absolute highlight in all of our careers. After all, who are we making games for if not for the players? But passion can only go so far when we need to balance that out with development costs. Its taken the team a lot to create Stone Story RPG, both in terms of time and money. When you look at SSRPG as a product on its own, its done great! Were exceedingly happy with the critical and commercial response its gained over the past few years. However, we cant ignore the real human cost that went into making the game and continues to go into it. When you factor in the time and work of the talented, hard-working people behind the scenes, were actually losing money. So, to keep the team going, even beyond Stone Story RPG, weve determined that raising the price was the best solution. This was always going to be a hard message to push out, and we can only ask for your understanding and patience as we lay the final pieces down on this chapter of our teams work with Stone Story RPG. -SSRPG Team

In a realm of perpetual evil, a single stone could change everything.
Stone Story is an RPG set in a dark and vile world. The game's fluid ascii art is painstakingly animated in plain text by a single insane game developer. The game has been in development since 2014 and is presently in closed beta testing. It features 8 locations to explore, 8 boss fights, mind-blowing ascii cutscenes and plenty of loot to discover.

The casual play contrasts with the retro visuals, providing a unique experience that blends nostalgia with modern design principles. One of the game's defining mechanics is that you have no direct control of the player character. You choose what items to equip, which location to visit and relax while an artificial intelligence does all the exploring, combat and looting. That doesn't mean this is an idle game. Potions and special abilities are maximized by good timing. Boss fights are intense and can keep you at the edge of your seat, requiring quick item swaps if the boss changes patterns. Additionally, an item crafting system allows you to combine otherwise disposable items--rewarding experimentation, giving you interesting choices and making full use of all the gathered loot.

Initial language support is English, Portuguese and Chinese. Further localization will be added based on regional demand.
