The difference between life and death? A warmer fire. A stronger shelter. A sharper edge. Hides become tents. Flint becomes blades. Discover recipes, experiment and craft the tools your clans need to endure, to grow, to thrive. #indiegame #strategy

As the sun rises over the valley, your clans awaken. The day greats you with the river's song, the scratching of claws in the undergrowth, the distant call of a mammoth. But in the safety of the camp, the brutal world outside fades to a distant echo. #indiegame

In this unforgiving world, survival begins with a single question: How will your clans find food? Forage the wilds, fish the rivers, scavenge the remains or hunt the great beasts. Prepare food or eat it raw. Each choice will shape your fate. #indiedev #gamedev #pcgaming #indiegames #itat
