Just between a rich green forest and the misty shore of an expansive sea lies a small community. Here, life is simple and harmonious. Everyone has what they need, and everyone does their part to help each other. The community keeps to themselves, and life consists of hunting, gathering, fishing for food, creating works of art, whether it be small statues or intricate cloths, spending evenings by the fire, guarding the town perimeters from unwanted creatures, raising their children to follow in their footsteps, and burying their dead when the time came. This was the way it had been for as long as anyone could remember, and it would have gone on this way until the end of time. But all of this changes when the daily hunting party returns one evening and speak of a wild discovery, that of a strange abandoned monument in the forest, unlike anything they have ever seen before. The villagers flock to the monument, trying to understand where it came from, what it means. The thirst to explore, to discover a world beyond the community, grows among the younger generation. But there are some who'd rather the boat not be rocked, but no matter what, the simple, idyllic community life will never be the same.
What's it all about?
We play the citizens of an agricultural revolution era (c ~10000 years ago) community in present day, but with no knowledge of the outside world or the technology that we that enjoy on a day to day life. The abandoned monument is a crashed car of a ranger, and left behind was several pictures of his family, a file folder filled with important work documents (all gibberish to the villagers), and a nalgene 32 oz water bottle. You'll take the role of a given villager with his or her own strong sentiments about what should be done about the car. And eventually, as the curiosity of the villagers grow, new technologies will be developed and our great cities of the first world will be discovered, leading to a change in the lives the villagers from which there can be no return. Those of our civilization will be NPCs, but eventually, more will be discovered about the man who left behind the car.
