One Stone Age life, start to finish. Then you die and do it again as someone new. You're born into a band of hunter-gatherers on the Ice Age steppe. The game doesn't skip the boring parts and it doesn't skip the hard ones. You live the whole thing, from a kid underfoot to the elder the young ones stop listening to. What kind of life is yours? You find out by living it. Hunt mammoth until the band can't eat without you. Fall hard for someone two camps over. Raise three kids through a winter that was only meant to take one. Take in a half-wild wolf. Cross the wrong man and spend the next twenty years squaring it. Do something worth remembering, and hear your name long after you're gone. Then winter takes you too. It takes everyone. But your soul doesn't stop. It starts over - new body, new family, a new corner of a hard and beautiful world - and something of who you were comes with it. Every season is a board. The weather, the herds, the sickness and the strangers come up as cards, and you decide who in your band meets which one. Send the wrong person at a wolf pack and you lose them. Send nobody and everyone goes hungry. No graphics here, and that's the point. It's all words, so the steppe looks like whatever your head makes of it. Nothing is scripted. Every life grows out of the choices you actually make, so no two ever land the same way. Eight worlds so far: the Mammoth Steppe of the late Ice Age, the East Wind Plains beyond it, the red desert heart of the Great South Land, the frozen heart of the continent, the painted country at the tip of Africa, the wooded limestone valleys of southwest France, the high rift savanna of East Africa, and the glacier coast at the edge of the world. More are coming. Free to play. Ads keep it that way, and there are a few things to buy if you want them, but the whole game is yours for nothing. Firekeeper membership turns the ads off. Optional Firekeeper membership is an auto-renewable subscription, available as Ember ($3.99 / month) or Hearth ($19.99 / year). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings. (Eternal Flame is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.)

Baseball Scout Notes
Read full descriptionHide full description
Were you right about him? The next three games will tell. Baseball Scout Notes is a pixel-art baseball management sim where you run a scouting agency, not a team. Take requests from clubs, watch league games, size up players and recommend them in a scout report. Then the league grades your call by how he actually plays for his new team. ■ Request → Scout → Report Clubs set the brief: position (pitcher, catcher, infielder or outfielder), age, a key attribute such as "Power 65+", and a target game rating. Each round, send your scouts to watch league games. Contact, power, speed, fielding and pitching are revealed as far as each scout's accuracy allows; anything still unknown shows as ??. File your report with a predicted game rating and a grade from C to S. ■ Three games to prove it Once the club signs your player, your report is graded on his average rating over his next 3 games for his new team. Hits raise your reputation, and hit streaks build it faster. Misses cost you, and the higher the grade you gave, the more it hurts. When your pick performs, a bonus lands on top. ■ A living baseball world Three fictional leagues (regional, continental and global) play nine-inning games every round, with live standings by wins and a champion crowned each season. Replay every scoring play, extra-inning walk-offs included, on the game screen. Offseason and in-season trade windows bring a rush of requests. Three rival scouting agencies bid for the same jobs, and the better your reputation, the better your odds. In season 4, a data giant raises its license fees. ■ Grow your agency Hire and train scouts. Expand your office through levels 1 to 4 for more desks, more requests and sharper accuracy. Buy public data licenses or research your own metrics: public data leads everyone to the same conclusions, so your proprietary metrics are your edge. Sign young prospects to agency contracts and earn commission every round and on every transfer. ■ Your pixel office Your scouts sit at their desks while the wall TV shows the latest game, and the office changes as your company grows. If you like baseball games and tycoon games, this is a management sim built around one skill: judging talent. ■ Before you start · 5-season campaign, 3 save slots · Playable without an internet connection · No in-app purchases · No account or login — your saves stay on your device · Korean and English · All leagues, clubs and players are fictional Privacy policy: https://baseballscoutnotes.sanglimsoft.com/privacy/ Support: https://baseballscoutnotes.sanglimsoft.com/support/
