Don't Let It Die

Don't Let It Die is a prehistoric survival strategy game about leading a tribe after a lightning strike sets a lone tree alight and gives them fire. You manage resources and adapt to hunger, predators and harsh conditions while trying to keep the flame alive. Your choices include whether to gather food, fuel the fire or craft tools and weapons, and each can affect the tribe’s survival.

Lead your tribe

You can choose from 17 characters, each with distinct skills and specialties. Their abilities, equipment and team combinations shape your approach; the game lists over 2,380 possible team combinations. You venture into the wilderness to gather berries, plant fiber, rocks, meat, wood, hide and bone, making careful use of these scarce resources.

Discover fire’s secrets

Choose from four Fire Knowledge Tree difficulties and investigate the fire to earn Fire Knowledge Points (FKP). Spend those points on discoveries as you pursue the ultimate knowledge, “Fire Starter,” which marks the tribe’s triumph over nature’s challenges and the birth of civilization.

Craft for survival

Craft tools, weapons and buildings to gather resources, defend against predators and support the tribe. Your options range from simple stone tools to elaborate shelters, and what you make shapes the tribe’s prospects.
