From bare hands to first villages
You start low on the food chain and work your way up. Gather wood and stone, craft the earliest tools in human history, research technologies, and hunt everything from rabbits to mammoths. Forage across tall forests, snow-dusted hills, and rapids, then cook what you find in a system that spits out recipes with unpredictable results. Keep yourself fed, rested, and functional, and yell at the wildlife when needed. It is survival crafting with a long view: every tool and meal pushes your people one step closer to farming.
Running a tribe that eats and sleeps
Survival alone is one option. The other is building a tribe that lasts. As leader, you manage your people's needs, grow the settlement, and guide it toward the Neolithic age. Villagers work for the camp, age into Elders, and take over jobs you have already done by hand. You can tame a dog for company, or pick the hyena and accept the looks. Companions eat, heal, follow commands, and stick with you on hunts. Enemy tribes have their own plans for prehistory, so your little civilization needs shelter and spears as much as supper.
A bright Stone Age to share
The world is low-poly, colorful, and completely unbothered by your plans. You can follow the story from Paleolithic camps to permanent settlements, or skip it in endlessly generated Sandbox Mode and cause trouble at your own pace. Customize your character, emote around the campfire, and learn from the remains of other tribes. Bring up to nine friends, share resources, coordinate a mammoth hunt, or ignore the plan entirely and let someone else take the blame. Good for survival crafters who want hunting, building, and tribe management in one place.
What else should you know?
Can you play it solo?
Yes. You lead your tribe alone, manage villagers and companions, and follow the story from hunter-gatherers to settled farmers without needing anyone else.
How does tribe management work?
You complete tasks by hand first, then assign villagers to keep doing them. They work, eat, sleep, and age into Elders while your settlement grows toward the Neolithic age.
What can you hunt and tame?
You hunt rabbits, boars, bears, wolves, bison, mammoths, and more, each a different level of risk. You can also tame a dog or a hyena to follow commands, eat, and heal beside you.
What is the difference between story and sandbox?
Sandbox gives you an endlessly generated world to explore, build, and survive in at your own pace.
