Life is good on the isle of Isola but a group wants to explore the northern part. While sailing north, they encounter a storm and their raft is destroyed. Now they are beached near some mysterious ruins. They will try to get by and maybe learn what became of the city's former inhabitants.

Virtual Villagers: The Secret City is a real-time managerial game. Click your mouse on a tribesperson to move them where needed. If they have enough skill, they should begin the task you selected. You must get them to gather food, build shelter, heal the sick, research, "get busy" and have babies, etc. Eventually, they should grow and prosper, perhaps discovering the secrets of the city ruins.
