About this game

Features

  • Meaningful choices that affect the unfolding story and ending.

  • Fun, hand-drawn sprites, backgrounds, CGs, and character animations.

  • Heavily inspired by other fantastic projects like Snoot Game and I Wani Hug that Gator.

  • Side stories filled with easter eggs and rich world-building.

The Main Man

Step into the prehistoric-yet-modern halls of Cretaceous College of Computing as Dev A. Loper, the only human student among a campus of dinosaurs.

You're an outsider with one goal: turn a spark of passion into a serious, successful video game.

The Development Grind

Battle unexpected deadlines and scattered updates as you race to complete a demo for the Amberfield Demo Fair. Manage expectations and technical setbacks—the fate of your project depends on your choices, affecting the overall group dynamic and game.

College Romances

Navigate college life and love with three potential love interests, each with their own complex story arc. Grapple with the effects suffocating parental expectations, social isolation, or debilitating self-image issues depending on the route.

Multiple Endings

Your decisions have consequences. Guide your team and Dev's personal growth towards one of four dramatically different fates: from complete success to middling build failure—or even a tragic end.

Minigames & Secrets

Explore the world through Dev’s conversations, interactive moments, and a fan-inspired, in-game social media platform.
