A zoo on the other side of the Portal
Past the Portal lies a valley where dinosaurs never went extinct. You run the only zoo there. On our side, people line up for tickets. Build a park worth the trip, keep your dinosaurs happy and send every visitor home with a story.
Build it your way
Enclosures of any shape.
Wood, steel and electric fences go on the edges of tiles. A Parasaurolophus is fine behind wood. A T. rex respects only electric, and only while it has power.
Shape the land.
Paint grass, dirt, sand and ponds, plant tree ferns, cycads, ginkgos and horsetails. Every species wants its own mix of ground, water, plant cover and room to roam.
A park people love.
Paths, viewing decks, benches, fountains, ice cream and lemonade stands, a popcorn cart, a gift shop full of plush dinosaurs, restrooms and bins.
Fourteen dinosaurs with personality
From the tiny Compsognathus to the towering Brachiosaurus. Every dinosaur has a name and its own needs: food, water, the right ground, enough space, plants to hide in and the company of its herd. Happy pairs lay eggs, babies hatch and trot after their parents, and at night the whole park lies down to sleep. Dinosaurs catch colds, get tummy aches and limp after ramming a fence, and they grow old: an old dinosaur goes home through the Portal to live out its days in its own age.
Nothing stays calm for free
Hungry, thirsty or cramped dinosaurs pace their fences, ram them and sometimes break through. Visitors scream and run, rangers come with tranquilizer darts and carry the escapee home. Prefer a gentle park? Turn escapes off in the options.
Research and Knowledge
Your dinosaurs teach you as you watch them. Spend that Knowledge on the research board and your scientists get to work: each discovery takes a few hours of study and unlocks new species, shops, plants, the electric fence or a lasting upgrade. Read real paleontology in the Paleopedia as you discover each species.
People to run it
Hire keepers who walk up to the enclosures and toss hay or meat into the feeders, rangers who patrol, tidy up and mend the fences, and vets who cure sick animals with a medicine dart. Pay them every night and watch the park run itself, or not.
Something happens every day
A dinosaur festival with fireworks, a school trip, a heatwave, a fossil dig on the lawn, a thunderstorm that knocks out the electric fences. Send expeditions through the Portal into the Triassic, the Jurassic or the Cretaceous and bring back Knowledge and eggs.
Cozy, readable, alive
Soft, toy-like 3D in a jungle valley under a smoking volcano, with a field-journal interface of parchment, leather and brass. Day turns to golden hour and night, rain brings out the umbrellas, frogs hop into the ponds and pterosaurs cross the sky. Ivy, your park guide, talks you through the first steps, and a free sandbox lets you build without limits. Play at half speed, normal or fast.
Scenarios and achievements
Four scenarios with their own goals and up to three stars each: a first season, a park of gentle giants, a storm season and a park on a shoestring budget. Nineteen Steam Achievements, from your first enclosure to three stars in every scenario.
