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…” Includes a multi-player mode.

Ann Leckie's novel The Raven Tower is narrated by a large rock. Which is actually a god, but also a rock, and has a rather rock-like outlook on things.

Someone on social media mentioned the part in Sylvester and the Magic Pebble where Sylvester turned himself into a rock and couldn't change back.

This game also reminded me of the rocks scene in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Looks great. Reminds me of David OReilly's Mountain.

Fans of Arnold Lobel's "Two Stones" story from "Mouse Soup" will love this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_Soup

Bought the came ($2.00). Had it up on the side screen for hours now. So far there hasn't been anything for me to do. I am, after all, playing as a rock. It's pretty glorious.
