Ungh, a Neanderthal who falls asleep while guarding his tribe’s fire, wakes to find it gone and is banished. He sets out across a strange Stone Age world to find a new flame.
Each scene is a point-and-click puzzle area. Players inspect and interact with objects and creatures, experimenting with the environment to work out how to progress.
The adventure unfolds across ten hand-drawn locations, with visual cues and animation taking the place of written text and dialogue. Some puzzles involve transforming into animals or using unusual surroundings, and the journey reaches beyond familiar prehistoric settings.
Reviewers often enjoy the game’s cartoonish charm, wordless slapstick humor, and colorful presentation. Some find its environmental puzzles engaging and intuitive, while others say certain solutions are unclear and encourage trial and error. The short length is a recurring drawback, and some reviewers also find the puzzles too easy.
