About
Night Stones is a cozy adventure game filled with vibrant characters, fun puzzles, and a heartfelt story. Awakening in a world you once dreamed of, you’re met with a portal that suddenly explodes, leaving you stranded. Your main quest: rebuild the portal and find your way back home. Create your own character and unveil the secrets of Mythica as well as your own character's past in this wholesome journey of self discovery.
Explore freely in this cozy open world adventure. Immerse yourself in a handcrafted island teeming with unique quests, quirky characters, and an emotional story. Glide from mountain peaks, sail through storms, and uncover hidden treasures in the Underworld. Discover new items, from an elemental wand to a humble stick, each bringing you one step closer to home.
As you explore the vast world, you'll encounter a colorful cast of quirky characters, each with their own personalities, habits, and secrets. Some will welcome you warmly, offering guidance or useful items, while others are more guarded, wary of newcomers. To earn their trust, you'll need to help with their unique challenges—maybe fetching a lost item, solving a small puzzle, or simply showing kindness. These encounters reveal hidden paths, lore, and clues about your journey. Building bonds with these characters not only helps you find your way home but also makes you feel truly connected to the world around you.
Engage in puzzle combat. Victory isn’t achieved through raw power or quick reflexes. It requires clever thinking and keen observation. Each encounter presents a unique challenge that can only be overcome by using your items in creative ways or by taking advantage of hidden aspects of your surroundings.

Cute and fun
Ein tolles Spiel mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail! Ich wünschte man könnte nach dem Ende nochmal zurück in die Welt, um alle Errungenschaften abzuschließen.
Really loved playing this game. What a wonderful short story , a bittersweet ending although but really enjoyed it.
I found out about the game from the developer's YouTube devlogs, and I'm happy to finally play the game for myself. It surpassed my expectations. Amazing little indie game with a sweet story.
Not worth the full price. Get ready for an adventure with horribly frustrating camera angles - an inability to ever steer the camera to give you the view you need to see what you're after. Oh, and controls that are at times so rage inducing that you'll want to pitch your controller across the screen. Watch in awe as your character decides to completely miss the mark and run out of stamina before you can correct the mistake. The story and graphics are cute, and the game is close to being good... but it's really not worth the frustration - especially at the full price. [EDIT] I learned at the very end of the game that you can switch to manual cam in the settings... do this, it will save you a LOT of pain. On the plus side - it works fine in Linux.
AIIIII GENTE UM JOGUINHO MUITO FOFINHO 😭😭😭 adoro jogos assim mais tranquilos para explorar um mundinho enquanto fala com os personagens. é curto na medida certa, e tem uma história bem fofa ❤️❤️❤️ um ótimo jogo para quem quer um passatempo bem aconchegante ai AMO AMEI 😁😁😁😁😁😁
This game was pretty good. It'll take about 2.5 hours to beat, and has very little replay value. For that reason, I think $20 is a steep asking price. But if you can get this game on sale, it's an easy buy. The story was simple and predictable, but it was fine. The gameplay was also simple. Here's a snippet of some gameplay that the game actually has you do: You need to climb a wall in a cold mountain area to progress. Climbing takes stamina. The mountains are cold so you have no stamina. A nearby NPC will give you hot chocolate, which removes the stamina debuff. However, that NPC wants you to put a nose on his snowman before he gives you hot chocolate. There is another nearby NPC who will give you a carrot, but only if you light their forge. So, you light the forge so you get a carrot, so you can give the carrot in exchange for hot chocolate, and now that you have hot chocolate you can climb a wall and the game progresses. This is the fundamental gameplay loop. The term for this is "Yak Shaving", and it's not a bad thing. I enjoyed myself while playing. There are some "dungeons" with some puzzles, but they're pretty simple. I groaned when I saw an ice block puzzle (daring today, aren't we?), but it was very simple and took like 30 seconds to do. The game is well polished for the most part. I have an RTX 4070 and a Ryzen 9 7900 rendering at 1080p, and the game was smooth except for the village with the owls. Even with my PC specs, the owl village had a lot of framerate issues and stuttering. There's a few grammar mistakes in the dialogue, but other than that the game works well. I mentioned the "yak shaving" above, and it's a fun loop that keeps me engaged most of the time, but every once in a while there's a step where it's just "pay me 50 coins". Usually I had 50 coins but there's enough of these "quests" that I ran out of money, and then when someone asks for 50 coins it totally disrupts the flow of the game and it feels like artificially padding the runtime because now I have to run around the world shaking trees and finding chests. There were 3 or 4 of these that I came across in my playthrough. Only once did I have to stop everything I was doing and go collect money. Some of these are optional, like someone will say "you need 1 and a half stamina bars to climb this wall" but I was able to do it with less stamina than that, so I got away with not paying for a stamina boost. Overall, I recommend this game if it is on sale. $20 is way too steep of a price for something that you can complete in a single sitting and then probably never touch again.
I enjoyed this short game. The art style is cute. The controls are simple, but the camera handling felt a bit unintuitive, so I couldn't get the hang of it. I think the game is aimed at children, but it works well for adults too. The story isn't bad, but the ending didn't really appeal to me. [spoiler]I had hoped for a happier ending. Unfortunately, there isn't an alternative ending either, even after collecting all the keepsakes.[/spoiler] The gameplay was entertaining, though not particularly innovative. The sources of inspiration are quite obvious. The gameplay-relevant abilities work well together, and the progression system is well-executed. The world-building is detailed enough - familiar yet refreshing. I enjoyed discovering new areas and finding items that opened up further exploration. The sale price of €2.92 is reasonable for this game. In my opinion, while the regular price of €19.50 might be justified from the developers' perspective, I wouldn’t advise to spend more than €10 on it.
Pues el juego esta bastante entretenido, te mantiene ocupado con misiones y objetivos claros todo el tiempo, no es solo explorar libremente, pero puedes hacerlo si quieres, sobretodo al ir desbloqueando habilidades para moverte mejor por el mapa. Lo que no me gusto fue la historia *spoiler* Me dio mucha rabia que la mamá estuvo toda la vida buscando escapar y llevaron a la hija solo para que la viera morir, que horrible, no tuvo sentido que la hija fuera si no era para salvarla, :c en fin 6/10 solo por la historia fea </3
Really fun short game, feels a lot like A Short Hike and Little Gator Game!
