Stone Simulator strips away traditional game goals, letting you exist as a rock passively observing weather, seasons, and surreal events. The appeal lies entirely in its meditative emptiness—achievements unlock for inaction, there's no progression to chase, and the minimal interface creates space for genuine relaxation. It's ideal for players burnt out on objectives and reward loops, or anyone seeking a screensaver-like experience with a philosophical edge.
About this game
Stone Simulator is a meditative idle game where you live as a rock enduring endless seasons and absurd events. Survive storms, unlock quirky achievements, and observe a serene, ever-changing world. Perfect for Zen-like relaxation or meme-worthy humor.

I was suffering from erectile dysfunction and since I bought this game, I've never been harder
I once chased glory, loot, and fame, But every quest just felt the same. Then came a game that didn’t try, No HUD, no score, just earth and sky.
No dragons slain, no kingdoms saved, Just quiet peace, the calm I'd craved. While gamers scream and pixels poar, My rock just sat and gave me so much more.
No patches, bugs, or micro-trans pain, Just stillness running through my brain. I’ve found my place, I’ve found my tone Not player one… but player stone.
Space: lower VRAM usageWe've reduced video memory usage on the Space map. If it previously took a long time to load or the game crashed while loading it, please give it another try: this optimization may help the map load on your PC.We've optimized starfield and planet textures. The game now loads only the planet types needed for the current space scene, keeping unnecessary resources out of video memory.Forest events — now with friendsThe biggest news in this update: events at the Edge of the Forest now work in co-op too! Gather your friends, settle in and watch the forest's unusual happenings together. Being a stone is still something you can enjoy at your own pace — now with someone to share those moments with.Loading and savesForest scenery restores faster when loading a save. Snow, foliage and seasonal effects now update before the loading screen closes, without waiting for the next in-game hour.Fixed save-slot selection when loading. The selected slot is now locked in before confirmation, so moving the cursor or changing menu focus no longer switches it to another save.Controls, compatibility and effectsFixed initial menu focus when using a controller and cursor restoration when switching input methods.Improved Proton compatibility: FSR Frame Generation is disabled in this environment, while FSR upscaling remains available.Refined the screen-frost effect to reduce jitter when turning the camera, including when using FSR.Fixed animation playback for the UFO that delivers a stone.Thank you for your bug reports and for spending time with our stones. See you at the forest's edge — now for shared events, too!— The STFGames team
Your rock has finally left the ground. Its schedule remains completely empty. The Space Update is here! Take your stone beyond the forests and canyons and drift through a whole new setting, with stars to discover, a black hole to witness, and three new achievements to bring home. We’re also celebrating a big moment for our team: SOMNIUS, our new co-op game, is now available in Early Access. To mark the occasion, we’re giving our stones a change of scenery. A rather large one. Same stone. A whole new universe. There’s no ground beneath you this time. Just your stone, the stars, and a lot of room to do absolutely nothing. The new space map in Zen mode takes Stone Simulator’s quiet, unhurried mood into the cosmos. Drift alone against distant planets and colourful nebulae, watch the view unfold, and enjoy having nowhere in particular to be. Every time you start a new space session, a fresh scene is generated. Come back for another quiet escape and discover what the next view has in store. Same stone. More reasons to look around. Keep an eye out for red dwarfs, white dwarfs, and ordinary stars. And if a black hole appears in your view, take a moment to appreciate something with an even more impressive talent for doing nothing and attracting attention. Three new reasons to stare into space A little recognition for your very demanding work as a rock: Taking Up Space — Visit the space map. “No roots. No plans. Just drifting.”Star-Struck Stone — Spot a red dwarf, a white dwarf, and a regular star. “Same rock, three different tans.”A Hole Lot of Nothing — Witness a black hole. “Finally, something emptier than my schedule.” A fresh look back on Earth, too Alongside the new destination, we’ve made improvements around the game: Reworked menus with a refreshed layout and clearer map previews.Smoother music transitions — music now fades out gently when moving between gameplay and the main menu, in both directions.Upscaling options restored — NVIDIA DLSS, Intel XeSS, and AMD FSR ar...
