Secret found
They never tire. They never stop. They never forget.

A trot outpaces the band. A sprint leaves them far behind. But every stride builds heat, and a cat that overheats can barely walk.
Persistence hunters don't need to be fast. They follow your tracks at a steady walk, all day, every day, and they get faster each dawn. Out of sight you won't know where they are, only that they're coming.
Stand still in the shade of a tree or rock, lie down, wade into water, or wait for night or rain. Every second you rest, they walk.
Rock and water hold no prints. Rain washes them away. Cross them and the band has to stop and search.
Stand still at water to drink. Creep up on gazelles and hares (hold Q, or STALK on touch; tall grass hides you), then pounce and stand over the kill to eat.
They run and throw spears. Watch for the red line and sidestep, or pounce: a pounce dodges spears and can knock a hunter flat.
They read a straight trail like a map. Hold one heading too long and they send runners ahead to meet you. Turn, double back, use the land.
In the highlands you can leap down from ledges. Men have to find a way around, and your trail breaks at the drop. You can only climb back up where the slope is gentle.
A golden ? at the screen edge means a secret place is near: caves, springs, bones, a hunters' camp. Each gives something back, and its story goes in your Journal. TAB opens your map.Tap MAP to see your map.
Every dawn, and at some secrets, choose an instinct: a thicker coat, softer paws, a longer leap. They stack. Choose for the way you like to run.
Desert and ashland burn you; woodland hides you. Fog blinds everyone, dust erases tracks, lightning starts grass fires that men cannot cross. The coast is the edge of the world.
Zebras kick, warthogs charge, birds take flight. Lions guard their kills. Lead the band past a pride and let the lions deal with them.
