The skills are farming, building, researching, healing, parenting, and devotion. Best if you choose 5 different members with 5 different skills, although there are 6 skills available. Every single one of them have different skills for later usage, so i suggest you choose you 5 first members very wisely. It starts by selecting 5 starting members for your tribe. I give this a 5 star, cause i love this games so much and the puzzles and mysteries inside this game intrigues me so much.
It's a real-time game, meaning that the game still continues although you quit it. It's about taking care of your little people over time and see them improves.
It's a simulation game, and those who like Sims pretty much will like this game too. Recently i've been into this bigfish game called Virtual Villagers 5 : New Believers created by Last Day of Work.
