A very short game where you play as a mammoth in a cave painting. It's simple, both in gameplay and it's story, but I found the sparse story very evocative and well done. It is told by a narrator who narrates your actions, like in Bastion, but clearly voiced by an amateur (not bad, but very "programmer voice acting"). And while the game looks very nice and generally does a great job of maintaining the cavepainting...

A pretty good story with meaning.

The Mammoth: A Cave Painting is such a beautiful little experience. The description literally says, “Tell the 5 million year story of the mammoth in 5 minutes,” and honestly, that’s exactly what it feels like. While it is technically a trophy hunting game, the experience is surprisingly profound despite being so short. What I loved most is how naturally it explores our relationship with nature. The game reminds us...

Came for the cheevo, stayed for the poetry! Honestly, this is a beautiful little piece of art that teaches us an important lesson: respect for nature is not only a moral duty, but a profoundly pragmatic one as well. Protecting biodiversity safeguards future generations and maintains the true beauty of nature that ultimately sustains the human spirit. Humility, care, and restraint keep the web of life stable and...

I spent more time imagining what this game could have been than actually playing it. The cave art aesthetic is decent, but the experience feels as ancient as the paintings themselves. It had the perfect setup to teach something about prehistoric life, especially for kids, yet barely scratches the surface. The only reason this gets a thumbs up from me is because it's free. Somewhere, a mammoth went extinct for this.

The Mammoth: A Cave Painting is a very short game, but it is one of those experiences where the small amount of gameplay is clearly there to support the story rather than be the main attraction. I play as a mammoth moving through a prehistoric world, searching for my herd, protecting my children and trying to survive as humans begin hunting us. The whole story is designed to take around five minutes, which sounds...

The game has some nice artwork, but I didn’t find it very fun or interesting.

What was there was fun, but it is far too short - give it a go (you will spend longer downloading it than playing it)

It's short. It's sweet. It's free.
