A Rock and a Heart Place is a quirky little sandbox game about a pet rock and the companionship they... sort of offer? Set during a time of quarantine and anxiety, you have to take care of this pet rock, and -- you guessed it -- keep it alive! Although as pets go, they're fairly durable. Maybe the one you're actually taking care of is... you?

Controls:


* WASD - Move camera
* Right-click/hold (or Shift/hold) - Rotate camera
* Left-click/drag - Pick up/move the Rock, or interactable objects
* Smashy smash smash - Interact!

Guide your young pet rock on a journey through both his basic needs, and his deeper spiritual journeys. And, maybe address some of your own along the way.

An amazing amount of work went into this hilarious concept! Why did you make me feel things for a rock?

Liked the concept but found it lagged too much.

Really loved the concept and somehow really want to take care of my rock for longer! GIVE ME MORE DAYS!!! Love the story and the narrative is great. I think the actual gameplay needs a little improving though as I did have to restart after accidentally going under the floor and dropping him under there! A little polishing and more days and you'll have a fab game on your hands!
