Polylithic From bare hands to first village

Polylithic drops your tribe in the Stone Age, where mammoths, bears and hunger all want a say. Team up with up to nine friends, split the hunting, cooking and building, and grow from hungry foragers into a Neolithic village. Colorful, scrappy and best shared.

Is Polylithic worth it?

Polylithic is worth it if…

  • you like splitting survival jobs with co-op friends

Share the Stone Age workload

Bring up to nine friends into your world and form one tribe together. One of you tracks rabbits while another stalks something much larger, someone keeps the fire fed, someone else experiments with cooking and hopes dinner counts as food. You share resources, build the village side by side, and coordinate hunts across forests, snowy hills and fast rivers. Or you can ignore the plan entirely and wander off to tame a dog. Or a hyena. Both follow commands, eat, heal, and will absolutely judge your decision-making.

From foraging hands to farming village

You start as Paleolithic hunter-gatherers and work toward the first permanent settlements. Gather, craft early tools, research technologies, cook, rest, and keep everyone fed. Then settle down: manage tribespeople's needs, grow the settlement, assign work, and watch villagers age into Elders. You have to do a job yourself several times before you can hand it to the tribe, so everyone learns the hard way first. Enemy tribes have their own plans for prehistory, and the wildlife is genuinely trying to eat you.

A bright world that does not care

The low-poly world is vibrant and colorful, with tall forests, snow-dusted hills and rapids that do not care about your life. Days turn to nights, seasons shift, and sunsets look good over your growing village. Hunt everything from rabbits to mammoths, each a different challenge, and forage as you roam. Seek out the remains of other human tribes and learn from their mistakes.

Good to know before you gather?

Can you play it solo?

Yes. You can go it alone as tribe leader, managing villagers, taming companions and building toward the Neolithic age without other players.

What do you do moment to moment?

Forage, hunt, craft tools, cook, eat, rest, build, and manage tribe needs. Research technologies, customize your character, emote around the campfire, and push back enemy tribes when they object to your progress.
