Lithic is a combination of strategy and cRPG games, set in the unusual realities of fantasy reminiscent of the Stone Age. We take on the role of a semi-divine being and take indirect control over a primitive tribe, trying to pass on to its members the knowledge of technology, culture, magic, etc. This is the debut work of the independent studio Flintlock Games.

Set in a pre-historic fantasy universe of Lithic, players are able to explore the concept of cultural and technological evolution from primitives incapable of speech, through to forming advanced stone tool technology. Combining real time strategy gameplay with RPG elements, Lithic allows players to build the origins of society in a universe where magic abounds yet is untamed and the environment is as much the enemy as other creatures are.

In the beginning there was the Ix, a hive mind of reptilian humanoids. They expanded their territory, developing culture and religious practices. They worshipped The Creators, an ethereal race with the power to command the elements and manifest as mighty animal spirits. The Ix grew strong, arrogant that they had raised themselves so far above the other races; whilst others played in the dirt, the Ix had the ability to call on the Gods themselves. The elders of the Ix civilization came together to work a great ritual, one that would bring The Creators to the planet to rule as god-kings. The ritual was a success, but it caused the end of life as it was then known. The sheer energy released from the descent of The Creators destroyed the Ix, leaving none but a few mindless thralls wandering with no direction. Now is the time for the other races to shine, now is the age of Lithic.
