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.

What is StoneJam about?\n
StoneJam was conceived as a way to experiment with Stonescript, a scripting language built directly into Stone Story RPG. Easy to use yet powerful, scripts can be as simple as automating potions if your health gets low, optimizing combat to superhuman levels, or even creating new cosmetics and UI features!\n
With each new update we continue to expand what\'s possible with Stonescript. We want to see what YOU can create! Some of the projects that people have made with Stonescript include:
Minigames
[/*]Pets and cosmetics
[/*]Custom UI elements (e.g. healthbars, ability timers)\nASCII-art and animations
[/*]and more!
[/*]
\nCollaborations between participants are more than welcome (and in fact encouraged). \n\nInstructions in the Mind Stone* are written in Stonescript, a minimalist language designed for use by everyone. If you dont want to script, use the Mind Stone as your canvas to create ASCII art!
\n*(Note: Stonescript features are unlocked part-way through playing the game. If youre new to scripting or need a quick refresher, check out this tutorial weve written up: https://stonestoryrpg.com/stonescript/intro_tutorial.html)
\nIm a mobile player; can I still participate?
\nYes! \n\nWhile working with Stonescript on mobile may be a bit more challenging, there are ways that you as a mobile player can participate in StoneJam.\n\nWe recommend working with cosmetics as the easiest way to get into mobile scripting. For the more ambitious users, it is still possible to work with UI, Games, and other types of StoneScript creations!\n\nCheck out community members Rex and Ageraks guides on mobile compatible imports and how to edit existing imports:
