Sapiens

Sapiens is a simulator of the first people to settle down in the wild. The game is played in first person, and everything the hero does is done with his hands. Any thing is assembled from parts: first sticks and stones, then ropes and tools. The tribe grows, and with it new worries appear. The world can be dug up, walls and bridges can be built, and the earth remembers the changes. The settlers are busy working and need to be looked after. Tools break due to work, so the stock has to be renewed. The buildings are placed where they need to be, but the ground is not the same after digging. The tribe grows, and some of the activities are transferred to new people. The world looks calm until it gets dark. Achievements open up new building possibilities. Tools are improved gradually, and some require materials from all over the area. The tribe helps build and collect. Some of the buildings are needed for exchange between settlements. Animals walk around the camp and interfere with the hunt. The world keeps changing. Construction is done by hand, not by menu, so every action is noticeable. Some resources are extracted from plants and stone. Settlers vary in skills and learn by doing. The game supports community modifications. The world seems empty, but it is deceiving. The tribe grows slowly, and every person counts. Some buildings are needed for protection from animals. Some items are made from animal skin and bones. Community modifications expand the possibilities, and some additions change the rules. For those who love simulators of first settlements, this project is suitable.
