(let me know if I've tagged this wrong)

My teacher showed me a game that absolutely nobody else knows/ remembers. It's a puzzle game of sorts called "the stone". I tried to find a forum or anything like that only was able to find one article (plus a small Wikipedia page) about it ( https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-bleeding-edges-the-stone-retrospective?st_source=ai_overview )

I've been told it's a Manitoba made game so I thought this might be the best place to try and find other people who've heard about this game. I was told that you used to have to buy stones that had log ins carved in them from mall kiosk's. Thank you guys so much!

I worked at the company that made the website and puzzles for that! Haven't thought about it in a long time.

That article was an awesome read. If the rabbit holes that the article sends a reader down is any indication of the game's content, I'm interested.

Today I learned that the ECHELON surveillance system has been used to spy on and sabotage foreign corporate relations under the pretense of whistleblowing in order to secure multi-billion dollar contracts for local vendors. Neat.

I remember buying one from a shop at The Forks, and utterly failing to get anywhere in the game itself.
