You start as a fragile juvenile dinosaur, slowly growing and learning to survive through foraging and stalking in a vast, ancient wilderness.

What players say
Players praise the unique evolution system where you grow dinosaurs and change species through nesting. Many call it a solid free alternative to The Isle or Path of Titans, especially for weaker PCs. However, several report a toxic community with frequent verbal abuse, and some say herbivores become too slow and helpless against predators.
