Rock Life: The Rock Simulator

Play as a rock in natural surroundings, existing as time and the environment pass. The game can be played on desktop or in VR, and its central premise is to experience the world from a rock’s perspective.

Choose different rock forms and environments, and try rock-themed mini-games. Reviews mention a falling-rock merge game and Rock Tactics, as well as a mode where you can create a family of rocks.

Join friends in co-op, customize your rock with accessories, and work toward unlocks and achievements. The game also offers settings to explore and can be left running while you watch the environment.

Players enjoy the unusual idea of being a rock, often describing the slow pace and nature sounds as calming or meditative. Some are pleasantly surprised by the mini-games and other activities, while others like changing rock appearances and spending time with friends in co-op. A recurring reservation is that the experience can feel limited once its activities and goals have been completed.
