The official and authorised video game by Cloud 9 based on its classic cult-hit TV series, 'The Tribe'. The Tribe Game is a story-driven roleplaying game where the player steps into a unique, atmospheric post-apocalyptic world (where hope prevails). Taking centre stage in the story, the player interacts with a large range of characters and 'tribes', each of whom is seeking to build a new world, and the player will help shape their lives and destinies. There are many diverse places to explore, quests to accomplish, professions to level, items and resources to find, battles to win, friendships to make and challenges to overcome... as the player experiences all of the humour and unpredictable drama in the world of The Tribe - and tries to keep their own (and their tribe's) dreams alive... INTERACT WITH A LARGE CAST OF CHARACTERS AND TRIBES! Fate will make your character cross paths with many other survivors who are struggling to create a new world, including some familiar faces to those who have watched The Tribe TV series. For those new to The Tribe, your character will quickly discover who the other protagonists are of this world. Some will be friendly, some will be hostile, some in need, while others threaten the future of the already fragile world. EXPLORE A POST-APOCALYPTIC WORLD Travel through lots of contrasting, atmospheric locations... From the ghostly deserted Sectors of the city, to the suburbs... beyond the city, to the woods and forests, to the beaches and coast... You will also need to go inside abandoned (or are they inhabited?) shops and buildings, including a certain large shopping mall... CHOOSE YOUR OWN LOOK, CREATE YOUR CUSTOM CHARACTER Put yourself in the picture and make your character look a bit like you, or somebody completely different from your imagination, using the customisable character creator. Choose from a range of combinations to select your own appearance, including hair styles, make up and markings, as well as costumes. It is also possible to completely change your look at regular points during the game as the story unfolds. PROFESSION SKILLS TO LEVEL AND ITEMS TO BE MADE OR FOUND Level up your profession skills. Grow produce on the farm with your Farming skill. Find ingredients for recipes to create items of food and drink with your Cooking skill. Use Tinkering to make items or weapons, as well as things you may need to trade over to others, or in order to complete a quest. Go Fishing. With your Tailoring skill, craft new clothing or 'armour' to enhance your character's stats. Forage and Scavenge locations for items or resources you and your tribe might require. And always be on the look out for unexpected danger or encounters. QUESTS TO COMPLETE Sometimes you will be given Quests to achieve by other characters or tribes. Have you got what it takes? Keep track of your progress using your Quest Journal. SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDED WITH THE TRIBE GAME Bonus video content can be accessed from within the game, including: - An exclusive message from Game Director Raymond Thompson (Creator and Executive Producer of The Tribe TV Series, as well as the writer of The Tribe Game!). - A Character Art Evolution video showing the evolution of character designs from sketches to the finished article. - A Promotional Video from The Tribe TV Series (and official books). ATMOSPHERIC AND FULL SOUNDTRACK FEATURING ORIGINAL (AND ORCHESTRAL) MUSIC Listen in-game to an ambient audible experience featuring some sound effects from The Tribe TV Series. The game soundtrack also includes musical themes adapted for the game from the television series, some of it a full orchestral score performed by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. OPENING CINEMATIC Before creating your character, a cinematic cut scene movie (skippable) can be played featuring animation (and narration from actress Beth Allen, who played the iconic character Amber in The Tribe TV series). Keep the dream alive!
