Synopsis

When the Earth was still inhabited by giant beasts and its skies crossed by reptilian birds, early man lived like a wild animal, hunting with rudimentary weapons by day and seeking refuge in caves by night.

The forests were enormous and beautiful. Among the vegetation, life could be found in a thousand different forms. Carpets of moss and leaves covered the ground and expanses of ferns surrounded the trunks of enormous trees. But these forests held many dangers. Man had to face these dangers in a never-ending battle for survival.

You're one of these men, an early Homo sapiens. You have no name, as you have no need for one. All you know is that you have to satisfy your cravings: to find food to fill your belly, to rest when you're tired, and to find a mate.
