The Tribe Must Survive: December Playtest

Hello aspiring Tribe Leaders,

Do you believe you have the skills to help your tribe survive and grow, in this unforgiving world, in which any mistake might be your last? Well this is your chance to find out!

Starting right now, we’re hosting a 5 day playtest open to anyone in the Tribe Must Survive Discord server. Join in and help the Tribe push back the shadows. You can claim your key by visiting our Gleam campaign, found here: https://gleam.io/BZYYj/the-tribe-must-survive-playtest-2-reward


A few things to keep in mind;
  • This game is meant to be hard, you probably won’t survive on your first try. If you fail, get up and try again.
  • Explore new territory by setting out on Journeys.
  • You can set up Outposts by completing Journeys, they are an important part of gaining access to new resources and expanding your Tribe.
  • Establish trade routes between Outposts and your Tribe to manage resources between both the main tribe area and the Outposts.
  • There’s more than resources to be found on journeys. While each journey poses a risk, they also offer the chance to find powerful Perks.


For those of you who played in the previous playtest back in September, here is a summarized list of the changes implemented in the interim;
  • Rebalanced Wood and Food Economy
  • Rebalanced available Stone amounts and stone costs for buildings
  • Rebalanced Building Upgrade Costs
  • More disasters have been implemented, do take care as you pass day 50...
  • Major content updates, Journeys have been re-hauled, more events including rare events, new perks as well as the aforementioned new disasters.
  • Tribe trait and behavior options via events.
  • Improved the general feeling of movement of the camera and placement of buildings.


This game is still in development, as such we appreciate any feedback you are willing to give! There is a survey available in game that we'd love for you to complete after playing. We also want to hear about any bugs you encounter or suggestions to improve the game. Let us know on Discord, Steam or social media.

And remember; whatever it takes... The Tribe Must Survive!
