Ice Age Life

One Stone Age life, start to finish. Then you die and do it again as someone new. You're born into a band of hunter-gatherers on the Ice Age steppe. The game doesn't skip the boring parts and it doesn't skip the hard ones. You live the whole thing, from a kid underfoot to the elder the young ones stop listening to. What kind of life is yours? You find out by living it. Hunt mammoth until the band can't eat without you. Fall hard for someone two camps over. Raise three kids through a winter that was only meant to take one. Take in a half-wild wolf. Cross the wrong man and spend the next twenty years squaring it. Do something worth remembering, and hear your name long after you're gone. Then winter takes you too. It takes everyone. But your soul doesn't stop. It starts over - new body, new family, a new corner of a hard and beautiful world - and something of who you were comes with it. Every season is a board. The weather, the herds, the sickness and the strangers come up as cards, and you decide who in your band meets which one. Send the wrong person at a wolf pack and you lose them. Send nobody and everyone goes hungry. No graphics here, and that's the point. It's all words, so the steppe looks like whatever your head makes of it. Nothing is scripted. Every life grows out of the choices you actually make, so no two ever land the same way. Eight worlds so far: the Mammoth Steppe of the late Ice Age, the East Wind Plains beyond it, the red desert heart of the Great South Land, the frozen heart of the continent, the painted country at the tip of Africa, the wooded limestone valleys of southwest France, the high rift savanna of East Africa, and the glacier coast at the edge of the world. More are coming. Free to play. Ads keep it that way, and there are a few things to buy if you want them, but the whole game is yours for nothing. Firekeeper membership turns the ads off. Optional Firekeeper membership is an auto-renewable subscription, available as Ember ($3.99 / month) or Hearth ($19.99 / year). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings. (Eternal Flame is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.)
