Take command of operations on the legendary islands of the Muertes archipelago, bringing the wonder, majesty, and danger of dinosaurs to life. This simulator and strategy game places you at the helm of cinema’s most famous tourist destination. You will build for science, entertainment, or security interests in an uncertain world where life always finds a way.

The core experience involves bioengineering dinosaurs that think, feel, and react intelligently to their environment. By manipulating their genetic code, you can give your dinosaurs unique behaviors, traits, and appearances. The objective is to contain and profit from these creations, using the generated revenue to fund your global search for lost dinosaur DNA.

The Core Gameplay Loop

The gameplay loop centers on managing every aspect of your dinosaur park. This involves acquiring dinosaur DNA through expeditions and research, incubating new species, and housing them in carefully designed enclosures. Balancing guest satisfaction, dinosaur welfare, and park security is paramount. You will need to monitor dinosaur needs, manage their health, and ensure their containment to prevent escapes that could jeopardize your entire operation.

What makes this game unique?

Dinosaur Bioengineering and Management

A defining feature of this title is the deep bioengineering system. Players can genetically modify dinosaurs, altering their DNA to influence their appearance, stats, and temperament. This allows for the creation of truly unique creatures, each with its own set of behaviors and needs. Managing these complex creatures, from their dietary requirements to their social interactions, forms the heart of the strategic challenge.

Island Expansion and Narrative

The game offers the opportunity to expand your operations across multiple islands, each presenting distinct environmental challenges and opportunities. A narrative thread weaves through the experience, featuring iconic characters from the franchise and drawing upon decades of Jurassic lore. This narrative provides context and direction as you progress through the game.

Control and Strategy

Players have the flexibility to manage the park from a high-level strategic view, utilizing deep management tools, or to engage directly with the challenges on the ground or in the air. This hands-on approach allows for immediate intervention during critical events, such as dinosaur breakouts or severe weather.
