Publisher Team17 and developer Ambertail Games have announced a release date for Amber Isle, their new dinosaur-themed shop management game.

Amber Isle is launching for Windows PC (via Steam) on October 10th with a Nintendo Switch port coming sometime soon thereafter.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:

Amber Isle welcomes players to set up shop in the eponymous Amber Isle, a friendly village fit to burst with an eclectic mix of prehistoric animals (Paleofolk), who are desperate for players to breathe new life into their community and bring their home back from the brink of fossilisation. Join us for the grand opening!

Being the new owner of a failing shop is no mean feat, and once players have created their own Paleo-persona, they’ll need to roll up their sleeves and get their claws dirty as they work to maintain the shop. Players will spend their days bartering with stubborn customers, stocking shelves with everything their paleo pals might need, befriending the locals, improving the village, and exploring the surrounding areas for new items to craft, all in an attempt to convince their fellow Paleofolk to return to Amber Isle permanently.

Did you know: You can tell the difference between a dinosaur fossil and a stone by licking it. We don’t recommend licking actual dinosaurs though.

Key Features:  

• Open Shop:  Customise, name, and run your shop your way – use the profits to unlock new shop décor, walls, floors, and more, making the space uniquely yours.
• Rebuild the Island: Rebuild, decorate, and unlock new areas to explore on Amber Isle, and with enough improvement, Paleofolk will start to take up residence on the island permanently.
• Meet the Neighbours: Amber Isle is home to 48 different Paleofolk to befriend, including Ice Age mammals, Permian amphibians, marine life, invertebrates, and more.
• Paleo-you: Express your penchant for the prehistoric and design your very own Paleofolk – change your clothes, crests, and colours, to create your perfect paleo-persona.
