The Fourth Sense Evolution: Stone Age
Be a god to the Jilongs—strange, colorful creatures who evolved telekinesis instead of limbs. Guide their survival, shape their DNA, perform miracles, and live with the karma your choices create.
The full game is in development. The Stone Age demo is available now on Steam for Windows and macOS.

Games as a working portfolio
We don't just advise on systems. We build them.
