Description

Set in a dark Lovecraftian Stone Age, The Tribe Must Survive is a strategy survival game about growing and protecting your Tribe from lurking dangers. By day, Tribe members work to provide for their community. At night, the faint glow of the campfire becomes your sole defense against what lurks in the dark. Manage Wood, Food and other resources to keep the Tribe going.

Various global disasters will test your Tribe, as internal factions will challenge its cohesion from within. What kind of leader will you become to help the Tribe survive?

LEAD YOUR TRIBE


Each Tribe member's behavior is dynamic, influenced by their unique traits and needs. You can guide them through work assignments, resource management, and decisions on building and technology upgrades. Ease Fear levels, organize rituals, and make key choices to help your Tribe persevere against upcoming disasters.

INTO THE OUTER WORLD


Resources near the campfire are limited. Launch Journeys into the Outer World for vital supplies. Successful ventures allow you to establish new outposts and trade routes. Can you afford to take the risk of uncertain expeditions? Or will you do nothing and risk stagnation? Navigate a number of decisions of risk vs reward, and short term vs long term benefits.

THROUGH THE DARKNESS


Your choices shape the Tribe's opinions in many different ways, leading to emerging Factions and potential Inner Conflicts. Such events can significantly alter your playthrough. Be mindful of spiritual and philosophical needs, maintain cohesion and safeguard against internal threats.

LIVE TO TELL ENDLESS TALES


Each playthrough presents new challenges and opportunities, like procedurally generated maps and a unique mix of Events and Perks. Complete goals to unlock additional perks that can help in your next playthrough. When you feel up to it, set yourself a new Challenge Level to overcome. Win or lose, there is always something to work towards and learn, bringing you closer to the next breakthrough. Whatever it takes... The Tribe Must Survive!

Absolutely frustrating experience. Compelling at first. I can get through the eclipse but the game was definitely unbalanced with recent updates. Resources get used up even though they are plentiful, they just suddenly

A game that had amazing potential turned into another lesson about buying games in EA. It’s a gamble. Sometimes you buy into devs like from project zomboid, other times you buy into devs like here…. Scammers and

Survival settlement builder that artificially forces failures in order to implement roguelite mechanics. Got food? Villagers won't eat it. Got plenty of safe beds? Villagers won't sleep. I'm not sure if there was some

Should've been called "the tribe must perish" as one mistake would lead to it inevitably, without a way to fix it. Is it challenging and unforgiving? Yes. But this core game loop to reset gameplay with roguelite unlocks

At the first look the game, as well as the setting, looks nice. But, at least for me, they got some things wrong about difficulty. I'm absolutely fine, if a game is difficult. but if the difficulty is tried to archive

Came out in early access, had a few very minor patches that didn't add much then it was 'full released' and abandoned. Still feels like a demo.
