Trailer: ‘Skipping Stones’ – A Musical Indie

There’s not too much information on Skipping Stones , but after viewing the trailer and reading the premise of the game, we had to cover it.

Skipping Stones is a generative music/poetry game for iOS, Android, PC, Mac, and Linux where players throw stones onto a lake and listen as each skip plays back a musical note. As you progress players will notice that the soundscape changes with the time of day, and “poetry reveals itself laying out a non-linear narrative about loss and struggle in the face of tragedy.”

The game is currently an experiment by KO-OP Mode from Montreal, Quebec. The project was inspired by an unexpected loss which caused emotional trauma and thus the problems that came with it. It looks very interesting and is a piece that intrigues me for which the concept was derived from. At the very least, it looks like a relaxing beautiful little game!
