Overview and Gameplay
A containment failure on Isla Nublar turns exploration into survival as Dr. Alan Grant moves through jungle terrain and secured facilities filled with roaming dinosaurs. The experience blends overhead exploration with side-scrolling sections, shifting between navigation, combat, and environmental progression across the island.
The main objective revolves around rescuing stranded personnel, restoring critical systems, and surviving encounters with prehistoric predators. Progression depends on managing limited resources, learning enemy patterns, and moving between interconnected zones that gradually open as objectives are completed.
