A minimalist grid-based survival game where every move costs energy. Collect stones to defeat enemies, gather food to stay alive, and survive as many days as possible.
Dawn of Discovery
SteamSurvive as one of the first hunter-gatherers in a hostile prehistoric world.
This is a minimalist, grid-based survival game focused on movement and resource management. Every step costs energy. If your energy reaches zero, you die.
Collect and throw stones to defeat enemies, but don't get too close as they will chase and attack. Gather food to restore energy. Clear all five enemies on the island to advance to night.
At night, visibility is limited to a small area around your character. You can collide with fires to expand your light radius and safely navigate the darkness.
Survive as many days as possible as the cycle repeats and the challenge continues.
