TITLE: CHRONOSHIFT: MESOLITHIC DAWN

You awaken under a canopy of ancient Northern European forest, the air crisp and primal, carrying the scent of pine and damp earth. It is 6000 BC—the boundary between the hunter-gatherer world and the dawn of agriculture—a world utterly indifferent to your modern existence. You and three others from your time, Maya, Angelique, and Martin, have been abruptly ripped from comfort and security, stranded with useless knowledge and nothing but the clothes on your back.

The three companions—the spoiled golden child, the artistic mediator, and the arrogant jock—each struggle in their own way as their modern coping mechanisms fail in the face of true hardship. The only law here is the family unit. The only currency is competence. This is a high-stakes, violent time where resources are jealously guarded, and raids are a common, lethal threat.

The world is not empty. You are in the territory of a nomadic family unit, represented immediately by the fiercely loyal and competent siblings, Ava and Torvin. These Stone Age inhabitants are not primitive simpletons; they are highly trained athletes and survivalists who view outsiders—especially these strange, incompetent, softly-bodied newcomers—with lethal suspicion.

Will you try to adapt and learn from the people whose world you've invaded, or will you succumb to the constant threats of starvation, raiding parties, and the unforgiving judgment of the forest? Your journey starts now, offering a chance at quiet confusion or an immediate confrontation at spear-point.
