PL. 00A containment breach at blue hour — the plate this log opens on.

Surface±0 m

Layer 00 — Surface

An island that stopped calling home.

Ark Gene Group brought extinct species back on a remote island. For a while the world watched the feeds. Then the feeds went dark.

You land as a field commander with a short crew and a base that was never finished. From this line down, the log is yours to write.

Systems−11 m

Layer 02 — Systems

Four systems. One command.

The dinosaurs get the poster. The loop under them is strategy: build, staff, range, and research — then do it again.

  1. 01

    Raise the complex

    Shelters, laboratories and fences. Upgrading the base is what unlocks the rest of the island.

  2. 02

    Staff the mission

    Scientists, mercenaries and trainers. Some of them go on to become Dinoriders.

  3. 03

    Work the biomes

    Cross the island for resources, answer events, and contain whatever is already loose.

  4. 04

    Read the ecology

    Hatch and train more than 100 species. A roster is a strategy, not a shelf of trophies.

Questions−31 m

Layer 04 — Questions

Before you download.

Is it really free?

Yes. The store lists it as free to download, with optional in-app purchases. There is no paywall in front of the install itself.

Is it only a dinosaur game?

No. Dinosaurs are the setting. The loop is 4X strategy: a base, research, a growing squad and alliance play. Expect timers and upgrades.

How long is a session?

A short visit is enough to collect, queue an upgrade and send a squad out. Longer sessions go into events, excavation and alliance work.

Do I have to play with other people?

You can go a long way alone. Alliances carry much of the late game and most seasonal events.

Which devices does it run on?

The listing asks for iOS 13.0 or later. Check the store page for the current requirement before you install.
