What giants walked here before us?
Find large ancient bones that defy belief. Each site tells a story of what came before, what died out and what might still lurk in the shadows.

"It Take a Tribe" ecosystem simulation in action.
Herbivores huddle as they escape the local heat-wave (visualization for temperature is still WIP). This makes them perfect targets for predators to strike, thrive and grow in number.

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.

These are early screenshots from our strategy game about forging a cultural identity of a nomadic prehistoric tribe.
It's not about the destination, but the friends... and foes you meet along the way.

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.

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.

They ruled the ancient world and they are a part of our living ecosystem. Mammoths, giant sloths, sabertooth tigers.
To call this brutal and mythical world home, you will have to learn to live beside them.

As She drifted from the primal stillness, the First Wanderer breathed life into Titans and other ancient beings.
From their hands, the world was shaped. From Her deepest longings, a tribe was born.
It is here our story begins.
