- Visuals 9/10 Honestly the art is great and the character design is very good. Which is the shame considering everything else. - UI 7/10 Pretty good apart from a few weird quirks. I'm still not sure why characters' hatchdays are shown as day and month when the game measures time in days and seasons. Also, the game would benefit a LOT from tooltips. Tell me what the "Generous" trait means. Oh and the game losing

About the Game
Welcome... to Amber Isle! A shop management/social sim set in a quaint, friendly world of prehistoric animal islanders called Paleofolk!You’re tasked with running Amber Isle’s only shop. Gather, craft and sell items to meet the needs of your diverse Paleofolk customers. Does your brachiosaur buddy need a canvas as long as his neck? Maybe your microraptor amigo needs a mini-sized chair? Perhaps even some water-proof paper for a plesiosaur in peril? Different customers also have different needs, behaviours and preferences to learn. Haggle, pawn, and counter-offer your way to the top of the Shop Rankings! It’s up to you to run a successful shop to bring Amber Isle back from the brink of fossilisation!
Name, customise and run your shop your way! Use your profits to unlock new shop decor, walls, floors and more. As your shop gains popularity, plan your layout wisely, expand your floorspace and make your shop more efficient.Rebuild the island!You can also use your shop profits to help rebuild the island and unlock new areas. Decorate with paths, foliage, and amenities to make Amber Isle an attractive destination. Only then will our Paleofolk pals consider packing up and moving in permanently!
Paleofolk come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and species- it’s not just dinosaurs! There’s Ice Age mammals, Permian amphibians, marine life, invertebrates, and more! Amber Isle has 48 different Paleofolk to befriend, all with unique personalities, preferences, dialogue, and quests. Get closer to Paleofolk by hanging out with them and fulfilling their requests. As your friendship grows, Paleofolk will share new upgrades and recipes with you. With your help, they can even build their own stalls, cafes, gardens, and communal areas on Amber Isle!Express your penchant for the prehistoric by designing your very own Paleofolk! Change your clothes, crests, colours, and more in our character customiser! Pick from 5 body presets; Small Herbivore, Large Herbivore, Raptor, Large Theropod and Mammal. What type of Paleofolk will you be?The Story So Far…Amber Isle is down to its last remaining residents; the grumpy iguanodon Mayor Clawsworth, the peppy pteranodon courier Maple, and the mega-keen megalosaurus intern Adi. In a last-ditch attempt to revitalise Amber Isle, Mayor Clawsworth reluctantly agrees to let you open a shop. During your adventure, you’ll learn more about your new friends, the history of the island and how exactly it fell into disrepair…So, what are you waiting for!?Let's stock the shelves and dust the displays, because it's almost opening time for your brand new adventure on Amber Isle!Recommended system requirements

User reviews
I wish Steam had a Medium/Meh category since the game isn´t bad but also isn´t a game I would recommend to my friends. I would only recommend this to people who love dinosaurs since the art style is super cute and the game is at very first really fun but the gaming loop over time just gets boring and annoying to a point. I had the goal of 100% the game later decided to just finish the game, which I haven´t yet and
Game was not finished. Multiple bugs prevented me from even getting out of the tutorial and being warped back outside of the shop and locked out of it. Interactions with other buildings would lock up, and sometimes NPCs would just vanish when going to talk to them. It's sad, because I saw a lot of potential here, but this game just is NOT finished.
