Tail of the Sun is a quirky, open-ended, prehistoric adventure game for the Sony PlayStation 1. Released in 1996, it falls under the action and sandbox genre. Players control a member of a primitive tribe with the objective to grow their society and erect a tower of mammoth tusks that reaches the sun. This eclectic goal is pursued through hunting, gathering, and exploring a vast, procedurally generated world. With minimalistic objectives and an emphasis on freedom, Tail of the Sun offers a unique, laid-back gaming experience that defies traditional genre boundaries.
