Players begin ten million years ago as an early hominid, our
first known ancestor, swinging through the trees of a lush jungle
full of dangerous predators like giant pythons, sabre-tooth tigers,
deadly alligators, as well as other beasts, and will need to master
both their character in addition to their surroundings. Through
carefully analyzing and discovering the environment, players will
help ensure the survival of their clan by expanding the
capabilities of their hominid. The player will have the choice in
how to advance the neuronal network, offering a host of
role-playing game elements that improve different abilities. These
choices may allow the clan to advance motor functions, heighten
their senses, enhance their intelligence, and unlock better
communication amongst the tribe. Eventually, the player may evolve
their clan to a more advanced species through the decisions and
actions along their play experience. Ultimately the player will
determine if the clan will have an enduring lineage or become
another extinct species that recedes into history.
“I am extremely proud of what my team and I have accomplished
with Ancestors. I wanted to make a game about evolution that
would help remind of us of our shared primal instincts. Once I
thought of this concept, I could not shake this idea of struggling,
trying to survive in this massive, dangerous world,” said Patrice
Désilets, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Panache Digital
Games. “Today is a great day because we can now share this game
with the real world. It may be a difficult journey but hopefully
you can survive just as our own ancestors did.”
“It has been a privilege to partner with Panache Digital Games
to make Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey,” said Kari Toyama,
Senior Producer at Private Division. “Patrice Désilets is
meticulous in his approach to game design, and together with his
small team incredibly talented developers, they created an
experience that is wholly unique.”
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is a third-person
exploration survival game in which players will establish a clan in
an unforgiving wilderness of Africa spanning from ten million to
two million years ago. The game mechanics focus on three main
principles: explore, expand, and evolve. With danger around every
corner, players must carefully explore their environment set in
Neogene Africa, slowly expanding their clan’s territory, and
choosing how to evolve their clan from one generation to the next.
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is the first title from
Panache Digital Games.
