Helix Initiative built it quietly: a research facility on a remote island, set up to engineer prehistoric creatures from recovered genetic material. Specimens bred for study, control and money.
When the containment failed, the company didn't fight to hold the island. They evacuated. Doorways were sealed. Caches locked. The personnel database went dark and every clearance was revoked. The creatures stayed behind.
The island is unforgiving. Resources are scarce. The wild is dense with creatures that never learned to fear people. Survivors restore what they can, one ruined building at a time, and push deeper into the basin looking for answers.
There is no rescue on the schedule. There is only what you can scavenge, raise, and defend.
The evacuation logged you as missing. Reactivate your record, restore the uplink, and take back what Helix Initiative left behind.
Traverse Shallowreach Basin and beyond. Each location offers unique resources, creatures, and challenges. Scout unknown territory to find rare materials, locked crates, and the ruins of Helix containment sites.
Turn-based battles between your party and the island's creatures. Every species has its own stats, abilities, and traits. Flank with a faster dino or outlast with a tank - the party you bring decides how deep you go.
Defeat wild creatures to recover their eggs. Incubate them at camp, hatch baby dinosaurs, and raise them in the nursery. Every creature in your roster was raised from an egg you won - 37 species across land, sea, and air.
Harvest resources and loot from defeated creatures. Craft weapons, tools, lockpicks, and camp upgrades. Follow blueprints to build equipment that keeps you alive a little longer.
Breed your raised dinosaurs to produce eggs. Stats, traits, and species pass through generations. Build a party engineered for the fights ahead.
The camp is a ruin until you rebuild it. Restore the Command Center to bring the uplink online, then construct a hatchery, nursery, medbay, breeding enclosure, workshop, and more. Every building answers to you now.
Helix didn't burn its research. Hidden facility grids hold key-locked doors, loot caches, lore, and the specimens that remain in containment.
Form expeditions with other survivors at camp, invite players by name or player tag, and depart as a group. Shared trips, shared danger, shared claim on what you find.
