What is Stone Story RPG?

An ASCII-art auto-RPG set in a dark fantasy world, where the character explores locations, fights monsters, and gathers loot on its own while seeking nine Soul Stones to restore light. You choose and combine equipment, time potions and abilities, swap items during boss fights, and eventually use a built-in scripting language to adjust the character's behavior.
