Enter the life of a boy experiencing tragedy for the first time, the burden of his parents’ hopes & dreams, and the struggle to let his emotions in. Deflect the negative emotions coming from outside forces while trying to juggle the ins and outs of childhood, puberty, and relationships.
Cracking the Stone is an interactive comic about following the life of a boy who is learning what it's like to struggle with grief.
As tragedy overwhelms the boy, take control of his early life and help him learn what it's like to follow his own path, all the while blocking out the negative emotions that fly toward him as a consequence of his journey through life.
What is it like to juggle the complexities of childhood & adolescence with the struggle to keep one's emotions at bay and stave off existential dread and depression? Cracking the Stone aims to answer that question via an emotional journey through an interactive medium!
Note: This free demo is an incomplete version of the story ends on a cliffhanger! It contains only portions of the first 2 of 5 planned chapters in the story.
