A random event - sadly one of only the few across the whole game - will depict a meteorite crash landing in your vicinity, after which the game starts to really accelerate. Unlocking better abilities comes down to the way you play and experiment in the early hours, your curiosity eventually being rewarded with the ability to use both hands to pick things up, alter items (essentially crafting), and switch between different hominids while also having them at your beck and call. Stick with it, though, and the sense of progress is incredibly rewarding and arguably Ancestors at its best. This is where Ancestors is at its most frustrating, you barely given any guidance on what to do and your hominid incapable of completing even the most menial of tasks.

You thought you could do it without the HUD. “Real story, my brother, he played and he wrote to me ‘I played without the HUD and it was really hard!’ Well, yeah - play with the HUD at the beginning!
