About This Game

A prehistoric spin on the farm sim in which the genre's usual conveniences have to be invented first. Wild seeds are domesticated rather than bought, animals are befriended in the wild, and every idea you discover, from irrigation to fermentation, advances the entire clan through the Stone Age toward bronze. Up to four players can farm the same settlement in online co-op, and all updates are free.

Critics ranked it among the strongest of the Stardew-likes, and players echo the charm while flagging a grindy mid-game and repetitive caves, pacing the free Sun and Moon update set out to address. It suits players who found Stardew's loop too solitary and want progress to mean something communal; anyone chasing fast personal unlocks will feel the plateau.
