I should have listened. Reviews for this game were more or less universally terrible with the same critique showing up over and over again - that the game is immediately convoluted and complicated and confusing. Well, add my voice to the chrous. What sucks is that this game really should have been playable and enjoyable! The goal here is "guide a troop of humanoid ape creatures through the process of human evolution over several generations" and you accomplish this by exploring and investigating, mating, fighting off animals and other threats, and growing skill trees meant to propagte down through your future lineage. It's a cool concept, the game was pretty, and the controls weren't terrible to use. A winning formula! Except that the game doesn't explain anything whatsoever. This is not an exaggeration. There's no tutorial at all, and you're thrown immediately into the game with no guidance and no clue how to progress or succeed. The makers did this intentionally, citing that human evolution itself only happened through a series of trial and error. Well, yes, but that's a terrible way to design a damn video game! This game would have been immensely better and more playable had it walked the player through even just one day of this explorer-evolver simulation - it's time to eat, maybe go have sex with that ape, hey what's that sharp stick do, etc. Instead it's just confusing and hard to understand. A shame, since all the other elements of an interesting game seem to be here!
