Carved In Stone
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
In a quaint village where tradition reigns and women's aspirations are often stifled, you’ve carved out a life as the owner of a beloved potion shop—a dream you fought hard to realize. However, as whispers of societal expectations grow louder, doubts begin to creep in. The pressure to marry and start a family looms over you, challenging your long-held beliefs about happiness and success.
Just when you’re on the verge of succumbing to despair, a mysterious and alluring regular, Carrick, visits your shop in the moonlit hours. Their presence offers not only a respite from your worries but reignites a sense of adventure and desire you thought was lost.
As your connection deepens through idle conversation, you find yourself questioning not only the path laid out for you by others but also the true meaning of fulfillment.
In this seductive tale of self-discovery and unexpected romance, you must decide whether to conform to societal norms or to embrace the magic of your own dreams and desires. Will you choose the life others expect, or will you forge your own destiny?

Amazing, loved it. We need more erotic otome with voice acting. Thank you for quenching my thirst.
This was great! Holycow! It was the perfect lead-up, development - just enough to keep you guessing and/or wanting more. Carrick and the MC were great, their development, pacing, chemistry, all of it. His voice was perfect, to boot. And the CGs did not disappoint. However unfortunate, this was also incredibly relatable as an aging woman, so I found myself echoing a lot of the same thoughts, reactions, feelings. It was a great mix of reality and fantasy, for sure. This was all put together so well - I loved every minute, every second!
Thank you so much to the team for making this game!!!
It washed my soul, because I watched a cartoon that had a group of gargoyles with protagonists and a human too, but I thought the leader of the group was hot and kind.😏❤
Like Carrick!!! I hope there isn't a single person who wants him only as a sex toy, he is too sweet and affectionate to be reduced to just that! 😡
I loved watching someone play thig game, but i wasnt to try it myself. I went to get the and got to the download screen. I press download, download starts. But it tells me that i don't have 'permissions' to download it? Is this something i need to fix on itch.io or just my browser? Does anyone know
oh don’t worry this is normal! Usually you just press “more info” and run anyway. Usually computers don’t recognize renpy or other game applications- deeming them “unsafe”. It’s perfectly safe ❤️ I hope you enjoy! ☺️
a beautiful game all around, absolutely in love with Carrick!
does anyone know where the music is from/who it was composed by? it made the game 10x more enjoyable for me and helped to create a wonderful atmosphere!
The music is composed by Obey listed above in the credits- on their name links to the social media they provided. They are incredibly talented. I’m glad you enjoyed ☺️🙏
A short but very nice VN, with a mature take of relationship between adults. It's refreshing ! The voice acting is top notch, cherry on top of the cake ! Background arts are super well-made, my only complain is the jarring difference between sprites art and (spicy)scenes art. Two different art styles are always visible, and it's always odd... Both artists are super talented, but I personnaly prefer the sprites art better.
i literally died and passed out from all the groans, moans, and everything omg- THANK YOU TO THE DEVELOPER AND VA!!! This was fun to play!!!!
tbh it's so very amazing, from the VA to the scenes to the perfect dialogue, i adore it
Ok, that was hot as hell!!!!! Almost too hot for my virgin heart, almost!
Despite the fact of MC being an older woman as someone much younger, I actually deal with a lot of the physical describers older people would deal with. I grew quickly and lean on the chubbier side so lots of stretch marks in places, and I've had this mixture of grey and white hair for as long as I remembered. It's so refreshing reading an MC closer in body type to me. The VA did a wonderful job, I had to stop multiple times and look away from the screen. I hope to only play more works from you. <3
This was such a lovely story! And both the ML and the FL were to my liking a lot! And the VA really fit the ML so well !
honestly i hope this could be expanded!. i love cerrick and the VA who voiced him. the fact the MC is an older woman is a refreshing touch!. im so curious about the life cerrick lived the scars and all!
THE QUALITY OF THIS IS INSANE!!! Shoutout to the VA too. He killed it <3
Will there be more updates in the future
Hey why am I crying over garygole sex---- ( That's the joke he's written so sweet and is a king of consent i'm just so deeply moved it's unreal and also I've never related to an MC more. This is literally everything i've ever wanted from an M/F game and didnt realize it. <3)
Malleus would appreciate him as a friend. (Malleus is from Twisted Wonderland.)
Absolutely love love LOVED that you guys chose a gargoyle for this jam. Carrick's sprites are gorgeous, the cgs were lovely, and I really appreciated the mature perspective on the many facets of love and a person's unique journey with self discovery.
Wow loved every minute!
OMG HE'S SO GORGEOUS
Everyone have fun playing!! hot gargoyle man!!
