A classic puzzler is returning to the Nintendo DS (and PC), as Deep Silver has announced the development of The Humans.


'The Humans' is back! The legendary puzzle game loved by millions of players all over the world is returning in a brand-new version for PC and Nintendo DS! Deep Silver, the games label of Koch Media, a leading producer and distributor of digital entertainment products, and the developer Blue Monkey Software Inc. today announce the release of this title. Koch Media owns the worldwide publishing rights.

Once upon a prehistoric time: the player's mission is to guide The Humans to help them solve the quests that they are set at the beginning of each of the puzzle festooned levels. To do this, the people must all pull together; the player must plan ahead carefully. Assign tasks to The Humans in your tribe. Guide The Humans using strategy and guile in order to avoid the deadly hazards and co-inhabitants of The Humans world. Add to the perils a race against the clock and this imaginative puzzle game will entertain and bemuse the strategist in the player.

The game environments are charged with atmosphere and populated with more than 14 different characters, from hostile tribal brothers to sabre-toothed tigers, from mammoths to the dreaded T-Rex. Our human ancestors must prevail in eight worlds with a total of 80 levels, while following the course of evolution! As the game progresses, they will discover the most significant inventions in the history of mankind: fire, the wheel, and even weapons. And one thing is certain: there will be no lack of humor in The Humans!

The Humans will be released for Nintendo DS and PC in the fourth quarter of 2008.
