"The Fourth Sense Evolution: Stone Age" is a top-view 2D evolution, survival, and cult game where players take on the role of a divine entity guiding the Jilongs through the challenges and opportunities of the Stone Age.
Summary
Your task is to secure the Jilongs' survival, guide their evolution, and expand your faith. As a god of Jilongs, your mission is to protect them from natural disasters, illness, and invasion.
Jilong Introduction
Jilongs are worm-like creatures who, despite their adorable appearance, exhibit a fascinating blend of intelligence and adaptability. They reside in the harsh yet vibrant environment of the Stone Age. Their evolutionary journey, shaped by their distinctive DNA, the environment, and your divine guidance, forms the game’s core narrative. While they mirror certain human sensory capabilities, their "4th Sense" compensates for their lack of arms. This sense surpasses the human's sixth sense, granting them telekinetic abilities to manipulate objects and perform feats beyond human manual capabilities.
DNA System
In our game, the DNA system is unlike what you'd find in standard biology. The Jilongs possess a unique genetic system. Unlike other creatures that carry two sets of DNA, one from each parent, Jilongs are tetraploid and carry two sets of DNA from each of their parents, resulting in four sets. The characteristics of the offspring are determined by the unique combination of these four sets of DNA. This unique mechanism allows players to select parent Jilongs thoughtfully to produce offspring possessing desired traits. This system contributes significantly to the depth of the game's strategy, requiring players to consider the genetic makeup of their Jilong tribe as they guide their evolution.

Additional Traits
The game also factors in other traits such as horn type, skin color, number of organs, and organ health, each of which has specific implications for a Jilong's capabilities and performance.
Design Philosophy
In “The Fourth Sense Evolution”, perfection is subjective, much like in life. Every trait or strand of DNA has its benefits and drawbacks. For instance, Sickle Cell Anemia can decrease a person's lifespan without a threat of Malaria, potentially extending their life in regions where Malaria is prevalent.
This balance of life is reflected within "The Fourth Sense.” There are no absolute good or bad decisions or evil paths for character development. Every choice has consequences, advantages, and disadvantages, uniquely shaping the world and its inhabitants. The game's vision is to create a world where every tribe of Jilongs is distinctive, each with its strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities.
Conclusion
"The Fourth Sense Evolution" offers a complex yet satisfying gaming experience that challenges player strategy and creativity. By cleverly managing the Jilongs' DNA, selecting beneficial traits, and making insightful decisions, players can cultivate a thriving Jilong civilization that stands the test of time.
