$19.99Tribe: Primitive Builder
You are the builder of an exiled tribe on a large island, chopping wood and stone by hand, raising huts and workshops, then assigning villagers to gather, craft and hunt for you. Four lands, a full story and a slow shift from manual work to automation make it a calm, hands-on colony sim.

Build by hand, then put the tribe to work
You start as the outcast with an axe and a spear, cutting trees, breaking stone and carrying loads back to the plot yourself. Huts, storage, workshops and food buildings go up piece by piece, and rituals unlock stronger blueprints for grander structures.
Once villagers join, you give them jobs and let gathering, crafting and food production run without you. You decide how fast to grow the village, balancing shelter and meat against new mouths to feed. You place a fishing hut near the water, set hunters to bring in meat, and watch baskets fill while you haul timber for the next bridge, lift or ship to another land.
Four lands and a story to follow
The island is split into four regions, each with its own resources and building sites. You follow the elders, complete tasks and earn trust, working toward saving the inhabitants and preparing for hard times ahead.
Progress opens new parts of the map, and undiscovered places hold secrets alongside danger. There are tools to craft, knives and axes for work in the wilds, plus hunting and fishing with a spear to keep hunger down. It stays low-pressure throughout, with survival limited to food and stamina rather than enemies, so the focus stays on exploring, building and keeping the village fed.
What else should you know?
How does tribe management work?
You recruit villagers and assign them to production buildings for wood, stone, food and tools. They keep working on their own, and villages can trade with each other, which lets you step back from chopping and carrying and spend more time on construction and story tasks.
Can you carry much while building?
Yes. There is no weight limit, so you can pick up everything you find and haul full loads from storage to the building site in one walk. Storage keeps bulk resources and tools apart, which matters when large projects need hundreds of units.
How do you unlock better buildings?
Through rituals at the altar. Performing them opens new blueprints for more durable and larger structures, and some builds give access to new areas. Plan ahead, since requirements can grow once work has started.
Do you need to hunt and fish?
Yes, food keeps the village alive. You craft spears and other tools, then hunt animals and fish to get meat for yourself and your villagers. Natives can help with food, and steady production matters more as the tribe expands.
