Overview and Gameplay
Isla Nublar collapses into chaos as containment systems fail and dinosaurs roam freely across the island’s research and visitor facilities. Players step into the role of Dr. Alan Grant, navigating a hostile environment while trying to restore critical systems and survive encounters with escaped prehistoric predators.
Progression blends outdoor exploration with interior facility sections, creating a shift between navigating open island areas and entering enclosed structures filled with hazards. Each area contains objectives tied to restoring power, accessing restricted zones, and escaping predatory threats, with dinosaurs acting as constant environmental pressure throughout the mission structure.
Controls And Mechanics
- Top-down movement for island exploration across open environments
- First-person style navigation inside buildings and facilities
- Weapon usage for defending against dinosaur encounters
- Environmental interaction with switches, doors, and terminals

The experience is strictly single-player, alternating between exploration and interior navigation sequences as the player advances through the island’s critical zones.
