Climb into the cold, windswept world of the Ice Age, where survival sometimes means following seabirds to places humans were never particularly well designed to reach.

Tonight, you experience life as a coastal egg gatherer during the brief nesting season. You follow the rocky shoreline, scale dangerous sea cliffs, navigate narrow ledges, and carefully collect precious seabird eggs while waves crash against the rocks far below.

Every egg provides valuable nutrition for your community, but reaching them requires patience, steady footing, and the uncomfortable realization that gravity remains completely indifferent to whether you have dinner plans.

Settle in, relax, and drift into the ancient rhythm of cold stone, salt air, restless seabirds, and the endless sea.
