Primasia: Chapter One

Primasia: Chapter One follows Prime8, an ethereal spirit of evolutionary history who lives in Prime8 Cavern beneath Green Mountain on Prime8 island. Prime8 calls eight disciples from the Land of Humans to join him: Little Gorilla, Amanda Panda, Sam Snake, Caterpillar, Hugi Hippo, Rhino, Wanda Whale and Tiny Tiger. You switch between them to take on tasks and challenges as they explore the island, learn its history and work to access the secrets of Prime8 Cavern.

Explore Prime8 island

You can explore the whole southern region of the island, also known as Primopolis. Some areas contain important knowledge and information, while others serve day-to-day activities. As the gang meets new characters, they learn about Primasia and the Land of Humans.

Primasia broke apart at the same time as Pangea, 273 million years ago. Its location is never fixed, but it is always somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. Prime8 island is its largest island, and the time has come for Prime8 to share historical ecological data about global natural health with people in the Land of Humans. The knowledge in Prime8 Cavern is intended to support the six distinct climates of Primasia and contribute to environmental betterment around the world, in partnership with people in the Land of Humans.

Develop Primopolis

Primopolis is also the name of the island’s capital town, which was formerly in the central region. You develop the town to attract new citizens and enable trade with the other five islands of Primasia. Building requires sustainable resources, while trading with those islands provides other resources for crafting.

The island has eight crops, from cone carrots to the famous Primasia potato. You can sell crops to earn Darwiniams, the currency used in Primasia.

Defend the island

Eight pirates from a splinter group of a larger organisation are tasked with invading Primopolis and disrupting your progress. You must thwart their efforts.

Activities and questions

The game includes five minigames, each entered or left by travelling to another location. They introduce game mechanics and offer bonus rewards. Eight riddles form a side story and can be attempted at any time; they vary in complexity.

You also answer questions in Q&A sections to maintain an average score indicator that measures your accuracy. The questions cover useful general knowledge, as does the Prime8 handbook.
