Dolvun

Official site: dolvun.com — play there for the full page with tips and FAQ.

Long ago, in the valley of Dolvun, six early humans climbed down from the trees. Hunger, wild beasts and bitter winters are waiting for them. You decide who gathers fruit, who hunts, who hauls wood and stone, who chips tools and who rests by the fire — one season at a time.

Every person in your tribe is someone: their own strength, skill, luck and wisdom, traits that make them good or bad at a job, partners, children and a place in the tribe's chronicle. Children are born a little wiser than their parents. Look after enough generations and your stooped tree folk become stone knappers, then a hearth clan, then mammoth hunters — and finally modern humans.

Features

• Turn-based and calm. No timer, no grinding, nothing to buy. Each season is a small decision.
• Five eras of evolution. Each era sets three trials; finish them and raise someone wise enough to step into the next era.
• 17 inventions and customs — stone knapping, fire, spears, hide cloaks, herbs, language, song, cave painting and more, each unlocked by what your tribe actually does.
• A living, dangerous world. Hunt hare, deer, boar, bison, sabre-tooths and mammoths. Survive wildfires, floods, plague, heatwaves, blizzards — and the odd dinosaur. Move camp across an 8×8 map when the land runs thin.
• A chronicle that remembers. Heroes, births, deaths and great hunts are written down, so you'll remember their names too.
• Three difficulties. Gentle lets you rewind if your tribe dies out, Standard gives one rewind, Wild gives none.
• English, 中文, 日本語 — switch in Settings.
• Plays on desktop and phone. Saves automatically after every season.
