Navigation (in what is to the player a hostile, alien world) is tricky, picking out recognizable landmarks in a sea of trees is more difficult than finding a good joke in an Adam Sandler film and as an early man you have the memory of a goldfish but the strength and agility of an ape. From there control changes to an adult of a clan of apes nearby and you need to find the lost child. Right from the start you’re introduced to the harsh world of primitive man in that a mother is taken from her child and the child now needs to find a way to survive. This isn’t something you can change vicariously or through your own actions, you’re destined to evolve, and it’ll be the best thing to happen to you. Your choices will write your clan’s story and determine if you can survive your evolution.Remember how we evolved from Monkeys? You really need to be aware that if you’re going to experience Ancestors, you will do so not at a human experience, but in an animalistic one. Grow your clan and find strength in numbers as you progress through critical evolutionary stages of human evolution. Just like real life, make sure to eat, drink, and sleep to stay alive and have the energy to face any danger that may come your way. Decide what attributes to learn and hone in order to pass down knowledge to future generations, from crafting tools to enhancing evasive tactics against predators. Explore a beautiful yet ruthless world, from swinging through tree branches in the jungle to stalking prey across the golden savannah grasslands. Spanning from 10 million to 2 million years ago, begin your journey, before us, in Neogene period Africa.
