''Tail of the Sun'' is a quirky, artsy caveman simulator released in 1997 for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation. It was developed by Artdink (''VideoGame/ATrain'', ''VideoGame/NoOneCanStopMrDomino'') and directed by Kazutoshi Iida (''VideoGame/DoshinTheGiant'').
The ultimate goal of the game is to build a ladder to the sun using mammoth tusks. In order to achieve this goal, the cavemen must explore and gather resources in a large [[WideOpenSandbox open world]], and hopefully grow their tribe's [[TechnologyLevels cultural]] and physical levels enough to hunt the fearsome mammoths.
The cavemen also have an infamous tendency to [[{{Sleepyhead}} fall asleep at the worst possible times]].

Each of your stats are marked in the "Body" screen with a different color, indicating how strong they are (from weakest to strongest, the colors are: purple, blue, green, yellow, peach, and red).
