Back to Stone is an isometric action game set in a world where humans have gained wisdom to overcome war and famine. However, someone discovers a black book and recites the words that unleash a horde of demons, destroying humanity. Some are kept alive as test subjects in dark experiments. One of their subjects, the nameless protagonist, escapes and is infused with a demonic essence that takes his human form but grants him super strength and the ability to turn flesh into stone.
The game offers around 10-15 hours of playtime, filled with cinematics and dialogue, as well as various objects to solve puzzles and obtain magical powers. A small friendly helper appears when things get difficult, guiding the player through the treacherous world.
