You guide a prehistoric settlement through careful resource gathering and construction, balancing survival and expansion against the threat of permadeath.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic pixel art and slow-building loop, but many say the game is hard in an unfun way due to clumsy controls that let you select only one person at a time. Some report bugs with the save system, and the developer has stopped responding to issue reports.
