Our take on Paleon
The game trades a narrow focus for a broad settlement workload. Progress depends on handling farming, animals, tools, hunting, trade, and spare-part production, so players seeking one central activity may find the design less focused.
What is Paleon?
Paleon places a broken time machine in the past and asks players to build a civilization while working toward a return home.
The settlement develops from the Stone Age through later ages. Activities include hunting, making tools, breeding animals, planting crops, and trading with caravans. Players also arrange production of the spare parts needed to construct a new time machine.
