SHARED ROOTS - Wisdom of the Stones

In SHARED ROOTS: The Wisdom of the Stones, the player helps a young woman seeking to lay down roots in a new land confront the challenges ahead.

At the Rollright stones, a six-thousand year-old stone circle in the English Midlands, a friendly local woman shows our traveller to tune into the wisdom of her ancestors by connecting to the ancient stones. To access this wisdom, she must solve a series of puzzles set by the stones. Through the game, the player learns more about our heroine's struggle to put her past behind her, lay down roots, and connect with her own. SHARED ROOTS: The Wisdom of the Stones is inspired by mental health and migration crises and the magic of ancient monuments.

SHARED ROOTS: The Wisdom of the Stones is a 2.5D isometric puzzle game with a simple, refined art style and bespoke score, written for the project. By manipulating the stones, players solve puzzles to receive the wisdom of the stones and an invitation to access their own wisdom within.
