About this game
Under a Rock is a procedural open-world survival game set in an alternate prehistoric era where megafauna roam freely, Neanderthals still walk the land, and supernatural curses shape daily life. Players explore a dangerous wilderness that evolves unpredictably with each session, forcing groups to adapt their strategies as they uncover new biomes and threats.

Survival revolves around gathering materials, crafting tools and weapons, constructing shelters, and hunting or evading the oversized wildlife that dominates the ecosystem. Resource scarcity and environmental hazards demand careful inventory management and constant awareness. Curses introduce unpredictable complications that can alter player abilities or change the behavior of the world itself, adding a layer of tension beyond standard survival mechanics.
The procedural generation ensures that each playthrough offers fresh terrain and resource distribution, encouraging repeat sessions with different group compositions. Coordinated communication is essential when managing limited supplies, planning large construction projects, or mounting expeditions into uncharted territory. The game supports both online and LAN connections, giving co-op groups flexibility in how they connect and explore.
