There Was A Caveman

There Was A Caveman gets its appeal from the simple survival fantasy of a small prehistoric character trying to stay alive in a rough world. By our assessment, that kind of game usually works through basic movement, resource gathering, and quick problem-solving rather than complexity, so the appeal is immediate rather than deep. The honest limit is that the joke, the premise, and the mechanics all sit close together; if one of them is weak, there is not much else to lean on. In practice it likely feels direct and a little scrappy, with short challenges and a lot of repetition in service of the theme. Compared with richer survival or platform games, it is more of a compact idea than a broad system. There Was A Caveman is for players who want a small, clear premise and do not need much ongoing depth.
