The Tribe Game

The Tribe Game is a story-driven roleplaying game set in a post-apocalyptic world inspired by the TV series The Tribe. You create a character, meet survivors and tribes trying to build a new world, and influence their lives and destinies as you work to keep your own dreams and your tribe’s dreams alive. Along the way, you explore, complete quests, develop professions, find and make items, fight battles, build friendships and face adversaries.

Characters and tribes

You cross paths with a large cast of survivors, including familiar characters from the TV series. Some are friendly, some hostile, some need help, and others threaten the fragile world. Your encounters unfold amid humour and unpredictable drama.

Explore the world

Travel through contrasting locations, from the city’s deserted Sectors and suburbs to woods, forests, beaches and the coast. You can also enter abandoned or inhabited shops and buildings, including a large shopping mall.

Create your character

Use the character creator to choose your appearance, including hairstyles, makeup, markings and costumes. You can change your look at regular points as the story unfolds.

Develop your skills

Level up profession skills to grow produce with Farming, make food and drinks with Cooking, and use Tinkering to craft items, weapons and goods for trading or quests. You can also fish, craft clothing or armour with Tailoring to improve your character’s stats, and forage or scavenge for resources your character or tribe may need. Keep watch for danger and unexpected encounters as you explore.

Quests and extra content

Other characters sometimes give you quests, and a Quest Journal tracks your progress. The game also includes video content: a message from Game Director Raymond Thompson, a video tracing character art from sketches to finished designs, and a promotional video from The Tribe TV series and official books.

Music and opening cinematic

The soundtrack combines ambient sounds, effects from The Tribe TV series and musical themes adapted from the series, including orchestral music performed by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Before creating your character, you can play an opening cinematic with animation and narration by Beth Allen, who played Amber in the TV series.
