Stone Story RPG stands out for its black and white ASCII graphics. The entire visual component consists of letters, numbers and symbols. Because of this, the indie title looks similar to old bagels. But in fact, this is a role-playing game with elements of eshen. In addition to the graphics, it differs from other representatives of the genre in its indirect control. Here the user has no control over his hero. The user can only select a destination and manage equipment. And the character independently wanders through the levels, collects loot and fights with opponents. Well-developed artificial intelligence is responsible for all this. The gameplay is based on grinding.

The map in Stone Story RPG consists of 8 large locations. The action takes place in a dark fantasy world. The hero went in search of 9 soul stones to return light to the kingdom. On the way to his goal, he will have to fight hordes of monsters that have emerged from a parallel reality. The player is allowed to help his ward. For example, he can change equipment and use potions. All this must be done in real time. Battles with bosses, of which there are eight varieties, require good reactions from users. The user is also allowed to craft weapons. The process of creating objects is designed as a mini-game. At the same time, despite the general minimalism, the equipment is visually displayed on the adventurer.
