I also play those types of games I have Spore, foundation, Megaquarium and more.

I do think you would enjoy this game, it is slightly different and a bit more in depth than the afore mentrioned games but I think it is worth buying

( don't forget Steam does have an awesome refund system as long as you return within the specified time)

Tried it with a friend on his account. Nice idea, meh graphics, good music, great sounds and atmosphere. Watched a few tutorials since we wanted to get some decent progress into it without having to restart.

Autosave overwriting function is a ♥♥♥♥♥ - and that's what's ruining an otherwise great concept of a game.

At one point I must have issued a "group follow" command, instead of just one member, and by the time we realised it, mostly everyone was dead - they had somehow gone on the other side of the waterfall, god knows what killed them. Didn't feel like starting over - there were 4 kids in the group, decent progress, had started to alter tools etc. Never even got to a confrontation with a predator yet. Got a refund and that was it.

The lack of a manual save option is what will send (this otherwise innovative game) into the 5 euro graveyard - on all platforms. If you really want to buy it- just wait

It's worth buying if you don't mind alt+tab out of the game every 2 minutes to figure out how to actually play it. Less than an hour into the tutorial and I'm about to rage quit. Every time the game tells me to do something it doesn't say how to do it so I just alt+tab and look it up online. I'm sure the game is fun but it's extremely confusing to the point of being frustrating.

The tutorial said to form a bond by grooming a female. Okay. But it didn't say that you had to release the button when it makes the ding sound. That's pretty much the entire tutorial: It tells you to do something, gives a contextual button to press, doesn't tell you what that button does or the mechanics involved, Alt+Tab to Google, Figure out what to do, get another objective, repeat.

Or you could try different techniques until something works. When holding a button, there's a sound that sometimes plays. It doesn't repeat if you keep holding the button, so maybe that sound means something important. The only thing you can do in that situation is let go of the button, so logically...

You and everyone else getting confused by this should stop waiting for the game to tell you something and instead start thinking about what could be going on and how to make it work for you.

Not worth buying. Doesn't even start anymore after 3 hours of playing. Glad I got it for free.
