Roots of Pacha is a stone age life sim available on Steam since April 25th.
Stardew Valley started a genre: pixelated cozy life sims that place a lot of emphasis on building, collecting, and interacting with NPCs. Roots of Pacha also fits in there, but offers a rare setting – the Stone Age!
An idealized version of this, of course, in which we tame mammoths, ride giant ostriches and join a nature-loving clan. Sounds like a game you want to spend your evenings with? We have all the information about the content!
Here is a short gameplay trailer to get you in the mood:

Roots of Pacha: This is what Stardew Valley would have looked like 10,000 years ago
Stone Age has never been so relaxed
We play a prehistoric man who wants to settle down in a safe place. So we first collect wood, stones, herbs, fruits and so on, from which we in turn build a cozy accommodation. We sow the first seeds, tame wild animals and eventually meet other people.
This mammoth baby is now your new best friend.
Like the Stardew Valley example Roots of Pacha is also a mix of life simulation, construction and role-playing. We can make friends with NPCs, take care of their worries or celebrate festivals together. This is also possible with real friends, the game can be played both solo and in multiplayer.
Your accommodation and your avatar can be decorated and equipped according to your taste – people were already artistically active in the Stone Age! The more technologies you research, the more options you have for your settlement.
Farming, Irrigation and Lanterns are inventions open to you in Roots of Pacha.
The game also runs on the Steam Deckso perfect if you want to cuddle up on the couch and get to know Manni the mammoth!
What are the Steam players saying?
At Steam One day after its release, Roots of Pacha has 116 user reviews, 88 percent of which are positive. On the Steam rating scale, this results in a »Very Positive«.
The calm mood and cute graphics get a lot of praise. You can also pet dogs (wolves) and that gives you bonus points for every game! The title costs 22.50 euros. Later there will also be versions for Switch, PlayStation and Xbox.
Trivia time! This time, of course, on the subject of the Stone Age: Did you know that many Stone Age cultures were surprisingly advanced? Musical instruments, for example, have been around for 35,000 years. The first medical amputation was documented around 31,000 years ago (and the patient lived on for years afterwards). In addition, there were already real trade routes!
