7 Grand Steps: What Ancients Begat

What Ancients Begat is a complete (~15 hour) game about family generations surviving the rise of Western civilization. Survival is the ultimate goal. The sub-goals you choose build their story. Experience an abstract narrative about the lives of our earliest recorded ancestors. Part board game, part slot machine, part allusion to the computer games of yesteryear, the game begins with a simple mechanism. Spend tiles to go through the wheel of life. Earn tiles by cheating death. Then the game layers on top of each other like a pearl, introducing new tactics and strategies that drive an elaborate, evolving story round after round. How you play determines the lives of generations of a family through the ages.
