Description

You thought the past was dead. But when the veil between epochs tears open, the Cretaceous spills back into your world. The jungle breathes, the ground trembles, and the night screams. Survive the prehistoric nightmare—if you can stay quiet long enough.

Explore dense biomes, abandoned buildings, and dangerous wilderness while surviving predator attacks, managing resources, and uncovering fossils. Perfect for players who want a suspenseful, horror-filled survival experience.

 

The past isn’t dead. Prehistoric predators roam the land, and every step could be your last.
