The violent, unpredictable ravages of Sky, its contents a mystery as well, scar this Ground we tread...
****
So begins Sandstone, an action adventure odyssey set on the turbulent world of Ground.
You take the role of a wanderer, fighting to weather the storms, protect the people, and ultimately to unlock the mysteries of Ground and Sky.
Your hands are the main tool you will use throughout your adventure. They will become progressively tougher and stronger as you smash your way forward, enabling you to pulverize even harder stones, complete quests, and unlock new areas.
Along the way you will encounter a variety of colorful characters, and make tough choices with real consequences. Though Sandstone is not a long game (typical playtime is 2-3 hours) , it nevertheless provides a fully realized story and an entertaining, reasonably challenging experience.
Will you help the Groundfolk break free?
*Tips:
- Leave no stone un-smashed
- Exploration is rewarded
- Save often in multiple slots
- If there's nothing left to do, there's probably something left to smash.
- If there's nothing left to smash, there's probably something left to do or find.
- If there's truly nothing left to smash, do, or find, you may need to try again.
