A survival adventure set 36,000 years ago

Face danger. Find your tools. Paint your first wall.

You play as a young shaman on her first solo journey to a sacred cave.
You light the torch. A growl answers from the dark, a bear.
You run, and survive, but your fire dies and your tools are gone.
To finish your painting, you must face the frozen valley: gather, trade, craft, and call on spirits.
When you return to the cave, the wall is waiting.

THE WORLD & ITS CREATURES

36 000 years ago, the valley is alive. Wind, snow, and tracks everywhere.

The land around the cave is a living maze of ice and stone.
Mammoths and woolly rhinos cross the valley.
Horses stamp the snow; ravens follow their trail.
And deep inside the mountain, a bear sleep, the spirit that guards your cave.

Gameplay

Explore and Gather

Search the frozen valley for flint, wood, ochre, and bone.
Collect resources and craft tools to survive the Ice Age.

Survive the Elements

Keep your fire alive, find shelter, and face predators.
Every step in the cold tests your stamina and instincts.

Spirits and Music

Use your flute and drums to connect with the world around you.
Play melodies to reveal hidden paths and guide animal spirits.

Return to the Cave

Follow signs and memories back to the sacred cave.
A fox spirit walks beside you, showing the way through the snow.

Paint and Create

Mix pigments from natural materials and paint the cave walls.
Each mark you make brings light and spirit to the dark.

Celebrate with Sound

End your journey in rhythm. Play the flute, sing, and strike the walls to awaken the cave’s echo.
