Isles of Yore is a multiplayer simulator that aims to make you experience what it was like to go through life as a prehistoric animal.

Survival

Claim your domain with an animal of your choosing in an environment that best suits your needs—dense jungle, treacherous swamps, and the wide open areas of the island all offer unique advantages and challenges. Compete with other players and AI in a bid for supremacy and survival in the food chain.

Gameplay centers around raising and taking care of the animal you’ve chosen. Balancing your thirst, hunger, and stamina are vital day-to-day concerns as you explore the rich environment around you alone or in a pack of friends. The initial batch of animals selectable for play centers around small to medium sized theropod dinosaurs like Coelophysis, with a plethora of AI driven characters stalking the land around you. Future updates flesh out this roster further, with larger animals and aquatic biomes planned and in the works.

A labour of love

Isles of Yore is a passion project started from a place of admiration for the awe-inspiring history of life on our planet. The path forged by games in the survival genre offers a uniquely visceral, tantalising glimpse into this strange and wondrous past, and the project intends to build on this formula with special care to highlight the uniqueness of the animals that came before us.
