About the Story

This is a story about human life in prehistory. The characters are a band of Neanderthals, led by the woman Haizea, and a band of Cro-Magnons, one of whom is Haizea's lover, Esti. The two groups live in a delicate harmony but tensions break out and the Neanderthals are forced to flee.

The direction the story takes is up to you. The player takes the persona of Haizea.
