About this game
The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.
The Stone Ship tells a wordless story in which the player, an unnamed explorer, follows the trail of a previous traveller. Spells and ancient rituals unlock hidden doorways within everyday objects, leading you back through time, deeper and deeper, to the origins of an ancient megalithic monument.
The game features hand-painted textures and artwork, and an original musical score composed by classically trained violinist Caroline Karpinska. The ancient structure in the game is based on Ale's Stones, a real Iron Age stone ship formation in southern Sweden.
It is a single‑player, first‑person mystery‑exploration game featuring puzzle elements and navigation challenges.
Designed as a short, linear experience of around one hour, the game will be available entirely for free on July 31st for PC, Mac and Linux.

The Stone Ship began as a chapter of Overlook Trail, but evolved into its own standalone experience. If you enjoyed playing The Stone Ship, search for Overlook Trail on Steam and try the free demo.
