Swinging like an ape game

Ancestors opens 10 million years ago with a nature-documentary-style montage of cruel life in the jungle, featuring crocodiles, sabre-toothed cats and giant predatory birds — all eating each other. When an elder ape meets a grisly end in the treetops, the infant creature clinging to its back is thrown to the ground, and you begin the game as a baby desperately searching for somewhere to hide on the forest floor, calling for help.

Switching into the body of an adult primate, you pursue the cries through the dense jungle, eventually picking up the infant and returning them to the safety of the tribe.

Switching between any ape in the tribe, you head out on expeditions with babies clinging to you, seeking food, swinging through trees and trying to avoid anything that might devour you. As you figure out how to create basic tools from sticks, bond with other apes, use leaves or tree bark to staunch bleeding or create bedding from palm leaves, your abilities slowly develop in a progress screen that shows a network of developing neurons.

Through learning and breeding, you progress the species and eventually reach another stage of evolution, moving from the jungle to the savannah. There are so many ways for an ape to die.
