Vantage puts you in the skin of a prehistoric cave person with one objective: survive. The crafting system is grounded in archaeological research — starting a fire requires building a wooden spindle and hearth, sourcing dry tinder, and using the hand-drill method. The persistent open world can be played solo or with friends online, with options to build settlements ranging from a single shelter to a full village. Hunting scales with ambition: spear-fish the rivers, sling stones at rabbits, or organize a group to bring down sabertooth tigers and mammoths.
