About The Humans

The Humans is an action puzzle game set in prehistory. Its core objective involves guiding a group of characters through the discovery of key inventions to aid their evolution.

Players control multiple prehistoric characters across scrolling levels, each with a specific goal. Success requires switching control between individuals to coordinate their actions, making teamwork a central mechanic.

A time limit applies to each stage, introducing a challenging element. If time expires, the level must be attempted again from the beginning.
