The Humans Overview
The Humans is an action puzzle game set in prehistory. Its core objective involves guiding a group of characters to achieve specific tasks that contribute to their evolution, such as discovering fire or tools.
Gameplay requires managing multiple characters across scrolling environments, with the player able to switch control between them. Success depends on coordinating their actions, as teamwork is a central mechanic. Objectives vary, including locating items like spears or navigating to a destination, often using previously found objects to progress.
Each stage presents a puzzle to solve under a time limit, introducing a challenging element as failure results in restarting the level. The design shares conceptual elements with games like Lode Runner and Lemmings, focusing on character management within a puzzle framework.
