A slow-burn survival adventure where you piece together meaning through symbols and instinct in a harsh prehistoric world.

What players say

Players praise the unique concept of playing a Neanderthal in a world without spoken or written language, relying on symbols and intuition. Many describe it as a meditative, non-violent survival experience focused on discovery, though some find it slow or vague. There are occasional bugs and camera issues, and completion takes about 5 hours.
