Description: An interactive drama in three acts by Cecilia Dougherty available on paleolithic.ceciliadougherty.com
This is a story about human life in pre-history. The direction the story takes is up to you. Play the story like a game. If you want more of the story, use the back and forward arrows to make more choices. The more choices you make, the fuller the story becomes. This story is speculative fiction, so chronological accuracy, archeological exactness, and anthropological certainty may not always be in effect…
Act I:
A group returns from foraging and hunting.
