How it feels

A tense short loop where you monitor a dinosaur from CCTV with a torch, completing objectives while restarting from scratch on death.

What players say

Players praise the charm and suspense of this solo-developed dinosaur horror game, particularly the camera-based minigame and northern Irish voice acting. It is short, around an hour, but many note bugs and missing quality-of-life features like saves, the developer is actively patching.
