The Struggle to Continue is about an ancient race of humans who live on the isolated and barren world of Razak. Because of the scarcity of resources the Razakians live in many small tribes around the island so that they have enough resources to sustain their tribe.

Razak and its people were given life from the World Spirit Maru. As the population Razak grew the energy required by Maru to sustain their world and provide for its people became too much for the World Spirit.

In answer to this Maru came forth with a fair solution for this problem. Once per year she held a tournament for the Razakians. Each tribe would elect one person to lead and represent the tribe in a global tournament. Maru would judge the tournament and give her blessings to those who performed well.

In The Struggle to Continue you play as the leader of the small tribe on Razak. You will govern your small tribe for one year before going off to compete in the tournament. The player will have to allocate resources towards training and outfitting vs caring for and growing their tribe. The more you grow your tribe the more resources they will generate the following year. If you do well at tournament you will be greatly rewarded. However if the player invests too much in themselves and not in the tribe their tribe may wither away to dusts of Razak.

The idea that will really set this game apart is that the time leading up to the tournament is a single player affair but when the time comes to compete at tournament they will be faced off with other players representing their own tribes.

Each player must decide which path they wish to tread. Are you a competent leader who can govern your tribe and nourish them to greater heights? Or will you trust in your skills and lay it all on the line for greater rewards and the glory of emerging victorious? Will you keep a steady head and forge your tribe into a long lasting civilisation or will your ego cause your tribe fade into history?
