Developer and publisher Polyperfect has revealed its brand-new third-person survival crafting game Polykithic. Polylithic is a third-person crafting survival game set in the Paleolithic/Neolithic era where players will craft items, unlock technology, discover the world, build bases, and grow their very own tribe into a fully sustainable settlement. If settling as a tribe is not their thing, the game allows a completely solo playthrough as well.
Check out the reveal trailer for Polylithic which showcases what we can expect from the game when it comes out:
Polylithic features low-poly visuals and is bursting with colors which you will get to experience while playing this sci-fi story. You will start slowly by gathering resources and crafting basic items, and ultimately, you will have everything at your command when you expand into a fully sustainable tribe. Everyday life will be filled with challenges and threats as you try to reclaim the lands for yourself which once belonged to your ancestors who were wiped out by a deadly epidemic breakout.
Key features of the game include:
- Gather, craft, and hunt – Your goal is to gather primary resources to provide the basic means to survive. Collecting various resources and advancing the tech tree lets you set your eyes on the big prize. From rabbits to the mammoths inhabiting the prehistoric wilderness, every animal provides a different challenge to overcome.
- Grow and manage your tribe – There is strength in numbers. Grow your tribe, take care of its needs, and keep your tribe members happy. You can then manage your people and give them tasks in return, leading to them getting better and eventually becoming elders of the tribe.
- Explore the wilderness – There are more than valuable resources in the forests, snow-covered hills, and rivers. Discover the remnants of past tribes and take inspiration to build your own monuments to their memory.
- Embark on a journey through two different eras – You will be taken through two historical ages, each with its own specific core gameplay and flavor. The Hunters and Gatherers are a small migrating group trying to survive. Advance enough through the tech tree to unlock the requirements to settle down permanently as Farmers.
- Discover the true origin of your tribe – Not everything in this prehistoric wilderness is as it seems. There are secrets to find and stories to piece together, starting with discovering the roots of the disease that plagues your people and ending with your tribe’s history.
- Immerse yourself in this colorful low-poly world filled with atmospheric music – The Polylithic universe is unlike anything you’ve seen before and is waiting for you to explore its richness and discover all of its secrets.
Polilithic is currently in development and is targeting Q4 2023 for its release. It will first release as an Early Access title during which the developers will continue working alongside the community to finalize the development of the game. As of now, only a PC release via Steam is announced and you can add the game to your wishlist if you are interested in playing it. Additional details about the game will be revealed later.
