About Polylithic

Polylithic is a game tagged Survival, Open World and Base Building by polyperfect, released Aug 25, 2026. It has 309 Steam reviews (Mostly Positive). The Steam games most like it include Lugal: Bronze Age Survival Game, Cannibal Island: Survival and Tides of Despair.

Polylithic is a survival game unlike any other, set in the most pivotal moment in mankind's history. Experience life as a Paleolithic hunter-gatherer, settle down as a Neolithic farmer, form tribes in co-op multiplayer, or go it alone in a world where the apex predator is still a distant aspiration.
