“Incredibly pleasant! A feast for the eyes! No Russians blasting Rush B in your ears! Thank you for this moment of peace.”

“more of a immersive screensaver than a game because obviously as the titles shows...you're a rock. you experience stuff over time, or cool events in zen mode, and it's pretty to look at but that's really it. if you like…”
“Poor tech - frigid water ruins the show as unrelated to weather. ... nice try anyways”

“Good game! My pc was screaming almost the entire time but it was worth it. Plus you can play it with your friends so its even more fun!”

— a player, Steam review · 14 hrs played“One of the Best games out there! The ability to do nothing is so freeing I wish more games gave me the option to not do anything at all. The things I've seen while never moving would baffle you. dialogue is sub par as there isn't any because you're a rock.”
— a player, Steam review · 17 hrs played“Through many years of being in full Zen, achieving ultimate existential crisis, I have become the ultimate stone. 10/10 (jk, game is just an idle game, buy it if you want free easy achievements and want to let it play in the background like i did, wait for a super sale)”
