About Granite Noir: The Social Experiment

ONE SHOT. ONE OPPORTUNITY.

If you had one chance to add ANYTHING to a game ? Anything you've ever dreamed of, would you take it? Would you wait 2 hours for that power?Welcome to Granite Noir: The Social Experiment.

YOUR EXPERIENCE

You enter a dark room. A timer begins: 02:00:00.Before you stands a massive black granite monolith, covered in inscriptions - the wishes of those who came before you. Maybe the room has already changed because of their wishes. Maybe you're the first to arrive. Maybe there's nothing here but darkness and time... unless someone before you wished otherwise.If you wait until 00:00:00, a button appears.Press it. Make your wish. ONE addition. ONE permanent change to the game. What will it be ?

THE RULES ARE SIMPLE

One wish per player. 
Every wish is implemented. No refusals. No exceptions.
Every wish is engraved on the monolith forever.
Implementation time varies: hours to weeks, depending on complexity.
You shape the game for thousands of players who follow.This isn't Early Access. This is a finished game that will never stop evolving.

THE SOCIAL EXPERIMENT

Will you:
  • Align with the community and build something collaborative?
  • Go against the grain and subvert expectations?
  • Walk your own path and leave your unique mark?
If someone's wish "ruins" the experience, will another player use their wish to fix it? For the greater good? Or will chaos reign?Every decision is permanent. Every wish matters.

⚠️ A WARNING TO PIONEERS

The game evolves with every wish. If you join early, you will experience the monolith in its rawest, most silent state. You aren't just buying a game, you're buying the power to seed this world for everyone who follows. The more players join, the more complex and rich the environment becomes.

A NOTE ON MULTIPLAYER

Granite Noir will remain a single-player experience. Wishes requesting multiplayer features will be creatively adapted to fit the solo experience. Adding real-time multiplayer would turn it into a different game entirely, one we'd need to build from scratch with completely different architecture. So if you wish for "let me play with friends," we'll find a way to honor that spirit within the solo framework.

WHY RETURN?

Come back to experience:
  • ✓ Your wish engraved in stone forever
  • ✓ Your feature implemented and alive in the game
  • ✓ The cumulative result of hundreds of wishes
  • ✓ A game that has become something no one (not even the developers) could have predicted

FAQ Section

Q: What if my wish is "impossible" to implement?
A: We will interpret and implement it in the most faithful way possible. No wish is refused.Q: Can I see the queue of pending wishes?
A: This may be added as a feature in the future, depending on scale and community wishes.Q: How long until my wish is implemented?
A: From a few hours to several weeks/months, depending on complexity. Q: What if someone wishes for something offensive?
A: The wish will still be granted just not necessarily in the way they expected.Q: Can I make another wish later?
A: No. One wish per player. Ever. Choose wisely.Q: Is this multiplayer?
A: No, but you share the same evolving world with all players. Your wish affects everyone.Q: Can I wish for multiplayer?A: The game remains single-player. This isn't out of stubbornness; it's a fundamental element of its design. The entire experience hinges on solitude and the awareness of your choices, which affect people you'll never meet. A real-time multiplayer mode would require a complete overhaul and fundamentally alter the very essence of the game. As it's a single-player game only, multiplayer features won't be applicable and will be adapted to suit a solo experience.

Devs are reactive and involved, wish implemented in like a week. Fascinating project to follow long term

The potential for creativity and fun is great ! Wishes are implemented fast, and the process can sometimes be followed on the developper's Twitch channel. Given time, this social experiment can be a really fun investment !

The game is about to get its first update with the first batch of "wishes". Seems legit so far and devs are active on their Discord server. I can't wait to see what the rest of the world adds as time goes on.

Rien qu'en l'etat l'expérience explorative/comptemplative est au rendez-vous. J'ai hate de voir mon voeux implémentée, c'est un feature que je recherche dans le jeux video depuis des années ! Merci pour cette initative !

Fun experiment! I’m really looking forward to other people’s wishes and to seeing what the game will be like in a few months!
