Roots of Pacha: Kickstarter Campaign

We’re always on the lookout for a nice Kickstarter campaign. And another very interesting Kickstarter that caught our attention is Roots of Pacha, a co-op farming and life simulation game set in the stone age. The game has been fully funded in less than 24 hours from its debut on Kickstarter. Stretch goals are now being funded.

Roots of Pacha is being developed by Soda Den, a small game studio run by two brothers, Timo and Jhony! The game will be published by Crytivo. (You can find the Kickstarter details here.)

Roots of Pacha

The brothers say the idea for their game came from their memories of passing the controller back and forth while playing Harvest Moon and dreaming of making their own game.
The inspiration for a stone-age experience comes from the book “The Clan of the Cave Bear” by Jean M. Auel. A book about how humans, tuned to nature and used their imagination to create the once inconceivable (by the way, a very special book series called Earth’s Children that gives food for thought!). That one crazy “Idea” built on another, and another, eventually leading us to grand civilizations.

A Farming Game

Roots of Pacha is first and foremost a farming sim. You help your once nomadic clan settle in a promised and fertile land. Part of settling means exploring the wildlands to discover new plants and improving them, making wild variants more nutritious and valuable.

Connect with Nature

By connecting with nature you’ll develop “Ideas” to evolve, enrich your culture, relationships, and discover the mysteries of Pacha and Mother nature. Throughout the world and seasons of Pacha, you’ll encounter families of animals. If you slowly approach and entice them, you’ll befriend them and even invite them to live with you. By caring for your furry and feathery animals they will eventually breed and evolve into new species.

Try Your Hand at Fishing and More

You can start fishing the shallow waters, and wait for the fish to come near you for the right moment to catch them. As you evolve, you’ll invent new tools and techniques for fishing to reach deeper waters with larger fish.

Venture deep into the world of Pacha to find resources needed to evolve and also encounter the spiritual world. Will you accept the challenges of the Wise Owl Totem? Can you solve the puzzles to gain access to their powers and reach places hidden in the world?

Listen To Your Clans Ideas

All Clan members have ideas that they’ll share with you at some point, this improves their friendship and trust, and by discovering animals, or finding new resources.
You’ll get to know all the clan and learn their favourite gifts and dishes, and they might even # reveal their personal stories, dreams, and fears.

If you want to ride on animals you can do that too. With lots of food production, or by improving your fishing techniques, Ideas let everyone approach Roots of Pacha their own way.

Join your clan as you develop the tools and ideas that reshaped the primitive world. You’ll learn to process and preserve food (meat, vegetarian, and vegan options), begin metalwork to make better tools, create beautiful pottery and art, unlock your clan’s spirituality, and invent new buildings to expand your village any way you want.

Discover, gather, and farm vegetables and herbs. Explore the surrounding wilderness to find animals to befriend and domesticate; fish the shallow and deep waters to see what lies in their depths, and mine the darkest caves filled with mysteries and secret powers.

The developers have planned to include multiplayer support. So, you and your friends can share your talents and resources to help the clan evolve. Ride your favourite animals together. Compete in fishing together, and have fun at festivals, and participate in milestone multiplayer cutscenes.

The initial release of Roots of Pacha is planned to be simultaneous on Steam and Nintendo Switch. PlayStation and Xbox will follow soon after launch! Now that’s what we like to hear!
