Hi!

You’ve been asking us to make Primitive Society Simulator available to a larger audience. So, how about just letting everyone play? We've just released our first-ever, time-limited demo – just in time for Steam Game Festival starting next week! 🥳


[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

1. Approximately 8 hours of gameplay. The full version offers 40 hours of gameplay.
   
2. You can experience basic systems such as gathering, hunting, fishing, farming, herbalism, and combat.
   
3. You can raise basic animals like chickens, sheep, dogs, and pigs, but not advanced ones like mammoths or saber-toothed tigers.
   
4. You can experience special gameplay mechanics such as inscriptions, reproduction, and education. However, you won't experience the altar and ceremonies, or large-scale warfare systems in the later stages.
   
5. You can experience basic logistics tools like animal power and carts, but not the extensive tribal trade and diplomatic relations.
   
6. You can build simple shelters, houses, and warehouses. However, the construction system for wonders cannot be experienced.
   
7. The process of forming alliance takes about 30 hours, so it won't be experienced either.
   

The demo is available in English and Simplified Chinese.

As we continue preparing for the Early Access, beta testing is still ongoing, and we will continue to maintain and update the Next Fest Demo for a period of time.
