About the Game

Step into the charming world of Amber Isle — a shop management and social simulation game set among a vibrant community of prehistoric animal inhabitants known as Paleofolk!

As the sole proprietor of Amber Isle's one and only shop, it falls on your shoulders to gather resources, craft goods, and sell items tailored to the wildly varied needs of your Paleofolk clientele. Got a brachiosaur pal who needs a canvas stretching the full length of his towering neck? A microraptor companion searching for a perfectly petite chair? Or maybe a plesiosaur in desperate need of waterproof paper? Every customer brings their own quirks, habits, and preferences to the counter. Master the art of haggling, pawning, and counter-offering your way to the summit of the Shop Rankings — because only you can rescue Amber Isle from its slow slide into fossilisation!

Give your shop a name, shape its identity, and run it entirely on your own terms! Channel your hard-earned profits into unlocking fresh décor options, new wall and floor styles, and much more. As your reputation grows and customers flock through the door, think carefully about your layout, expand your floor space strategically, and fine-tune your shop's efficiency to keep up with demand.

Restore the island to its former glory!

Beyond the shop counter, your earnings can breathe new life into Amber Isle itself. Unlock previously inaccessible regions and transform the island with paths, lush foliage, and useful amenities. Craft a destination worth visiting — and worth living in — so that your Paleofolk pals will finally consider making Amber Isle their permanent home!

Paleofolk come in an extraordinary range of shapes, sizes, and species — and it goes far beyond dinosaurs! Encounter Ice Age mammals, Permian amphibians, marine creatures, invertebrates, and more. With 48 distinct Paleofolk to befriend across Amber Isle, each one brings a fully unique personality, set of preferences, original dialogue, and their own personal quests to uncover.

Deepen your bonds with Paleofolk by spending time with them and completing their requests. As those friendships blossom, your companions will reward you with new crafting recipes and valuable upgrades. Push those relationships far enough, and your Paleofolk pals can even establish their very own stalls, cafés, gardens, and shared communal spaces right there on Amber Isle!

Channel your inner prehistoric spirit by creating a completely personalised Paleofolk character! Tweak your wardrobe, crests, colour schemes, and plenty more through our dedicated character customiser. Choose from 5 distinct body presets — Small Herbivore, Large Herbivore, Raptor, Large Theropod, and Mammal. Which kind of Paleofolk will you become?

The Story So Far…

Amber Isle is clinging on by a thread, with only three residents remaining: the perpetually grumpy iguanodon Mayor Clawsworth, the endlessly enthusiastic pteranodon courier Maple, and the eagerly devoted megalosaurus intern Adi. In a reluctant final gamble to breathe life back into the island, Mayor Clawsworth grudgingly gives you the green light to open up shop. As your journey unfolds, you'll uncover the stories of your new companions, piece together the island's rich history, and discover just how Amber Isle crumbled into its current sorry state…

So what's holding you back?!

Fill those shelves, polish those displays, and get ready — your next great adventure on Amber Isle is just about to open its doors!

This game is cute, the characters lovable and the mechanics cozy. The mainline story lacks some of the same depth that many of the side quests the characters provide, but it's not too trite. Just felt like a flat soda

More reviews like this one here! I was pleasantly surprised by this game. I’ve become pretty cynical of farm/life sims (as I’ll get to if I ever finish the farm sim post…) as a lot of them rely on the ‘cozy’ buzzword

I really love this game, but it saddens me a little as a completionist. It's such a cozy lil dinosaur game, which reminds me a bit of Animal Crossing. If you're looking for an adorable world to escape into, this is a

Its cute. Its got dinosaurs. Each person has their own personalities from the sweetest person ever, to the most sassy thing you did meet. The story relates to the real world and I love that. Lots of quests to do besides
