About






Welcome to Paleo Pines, a charming island known for its friendly dinosaurs, quirky townsfolk, and mysterious past. Here evolution took a different path, creating a world in which humans and dinosaurs live together in harmony!
Set out with your dino companion, Lucky, to uncover the island’s secrets and discover new dinos. Your arrival on the island is met with welcome curiosity by the local townsfolk who can help you on your quest (and just might give you more work to do!). Together with Lucky, build a thriving ranch, assist local villagers, befriend adorable dinosaurs, and unearth the island’s lost history to build your cozy dino sanctuary.

Set off on a lively adventure with your dino pal, Lucky, who you’ve known since she was just an egg. Is she the last of her kind? The other parasaurolophus are missing, and it's up to you and Lucky to uncover their whereabouts. Explore Paleo Pines, a charming island filled with friendly townsfolk and hidden corners. Build a new home, make friends, and unravel the island's lost history. Get ready for a journey filled with delightful discoveries alongside your trusty steed Lucky!

Set up your home base on the island as you go about your parasaurolophus quest. Paleo Pines is a place where you can express your individuality and creativity; no two ranches are the same! Build square pens, or not (although the locals might have something to say about that!). Use decor to build a romantic garden, give your ranch a witchy vibe, or go full-on-farmer with rows and rows of tilled soil. Furthermore, customize your character as you like with a variety of features, curate a colorful collection of clothing—with different items to be found in each area—and change your style using the wardrobe!

The island of Paleo Pines is a dino lover’s dream! A collection of cheeky dinosaurs roam the wild areas waiting to become your friends, as well as ranch helpers. Coax them near by mimicking their calls with your flute, then seal the deal with a tasty treat and trustworthy nose boop! Gain their trust by creating cozy pens and learning what keeps them happy. Dinos move around and some are harder to find than others, or may appear only under special conditions, so new discoveries await you as you explore the island. As your ranch grows, you’ll soon have a dino haven for all your new friends. Check out the Dino Journal to learn all about the creatures that roam the island.

Farm to your heart’s content, growing crops all year round with (and for) your dino besties! Start out planting and watering by hand, but earn your new friends’ trust and they’ll help you deliver a roarsome harvest that you can trade with the townsfolk. As your ranch grows, you’ll learn that each dino has a special farming skill to help you with your tasks. With a bit of love, care, and attention to detail, such as matching soil and season, you can grow the highest quality produce in all of Paleo Pines. Soon you and your dino ranch hands will be the talk of the market!

There's plenty to explore out in the wilds of Paleo Pines, from the flowery fields of Veridian Valley to the high canyons of Ariacotta. Make the most of each day by venturing throughout the lush landscapes across the island, each with their own charm, collectable items, and dinos to discover. Take a leisurely stroll through green meadows, foraging for wild crops as you go, or hop on your trusty dino mount on a hunt for hidden corners. Pause to watch wild dinosaurs playfully interact with each other, right before your very eyes. You'll never run out of things to find or dinosaurs to befriend!

A quirky (but friendly!) array of townsfolk on the island can’t wait to meet you and help you on your quest. Granny might have a stubborn side, but get to know her and she’s an ol’ softie. Building friendships within the community is just as important as building friendships with your dinosaurs. As you ride dinos, farm, and explore, you will come across new characters, each with their own story, items or knowledge to share, and gossip to exchange. Help them out day or night by completing quests, opening up new areas, and visiting the stores and community hubs. And who knows—they may even gift you something to spruce up your ranch!

Very cute dinos

I love this game! It's one of my favorites. I will, however, only recommend it on the basis that you'll get it on sale. ...Unless you love dinosaurs way too much and enjoy grindy, repetitive gameplay. Which I do, that's why I love it, but you might not... + adorable dinosaurs, first of all. Can't have them cuter than here. + many colors to collect! If you like shiny hunting or similar stuff you'll enjoy that. + beautiful visuals. I love the art direction, everything is stylized and cute and has such a nice, calm vibe. + fun NPCs. Not the most fleshed out, but still sympathetic and they work well in the setting! you can befriend them and they have their own little stories :) + you can decorate the ranch and customize your home and your character! + tasty looking crops :3 - gameplay is pretty repetetive at some point. - quests are... not super fleshed out and get boring fast in my opinion. - the game can be kind of clunky! Big dinos do sometimes get stuck when you try to turn ;w; it's pretty easy to get them out again but it does get annoying sometimes. - some things/mechanics seriously lack explanation in game, I wish there was some way to get tips (like characters having dialogue that explains mechanics?). I still don't get how meteor showers work lol. - overall the game feels a little unpolished. I wish there were animations for (dis)mounting dinos, some more variety in the quests you can do... Just some little extra details. Or the added dialogue to give out hints on features the game has. tldr: If you don't mind looking up info online, like dinos, typical farming sims and low stress gameplay, you'll probably like it! On sale it's definitely worth the price, you'll get enjoyment out of it. Story takes probably about 30-35 hours to complete leisurely.

This is one of the best games I have ever played, it fills me with such joy and whimsy in a way few other games have. I genuinely don't really have any complaints, the game and story are fun, I love exploring the world that is actually a lot bigger than it initially appears, and the town/people have so much depth it adds a lot to the game. plus all of the fun dinosaurs, they are so wonderful This world is teeming with life and personality, from the dinosaurs interacting with each other (and all their fun colour variations :D), to their different animations and interactions and everything makes me so happy. I love collecting them but unlike a lot of games, i don't really feel a compulsion to collect absolutely everything, nor do I feel any fear of missing them since I know I will see them all one day. This game is the best and everyone who is even a little interested should play it
I liked the fact that obscure dinosaurs are in this game, including my favorite the Utahraptor. but can any one explain to me why i am current softlocked for: keeping a saddle in my inventory. i am currently trapped on my farm because while on a tutorial i cannot A: leave B: save C: put a saddle on the dinosaur the tutorial wants me to put a saddle on. and D: put the saddle in my chest then take it out to fufil requirments. i feel like this is the kind of glitch one would find on a blind Test play though seeing as is it required to be able to ride a certain dinosaur to progress AND it is never disclosed that friendship increase after a day has passed, not at the moment edit: I am stupid, apparently there was a saddle on Lucky's fence, in my defence, not many people would assume "oh i better go look in the back of a pen to saddle dinosaur" when they already had a saddle.
De verdad, ojalá pudiera decir que me gustado este juego. LO POSITIVO: Los dinosaurios son adorable y obviamente la mejor parte. Hay una gran variedad de especies, desde los clásicos y famosos a otras paleofaunas menos conocidas. Poder cuidar de ellos, interactuar y trabajar usando sus habilidades ha sido de los más enternecedor en mi experiencia jugando. No lo he llegado a experimentar a fondo pero se también de que hay todo un sistema de skins/diseños raros que los dinosaurios pueden tener, lo cual puede ser interesante si te gusta el coleccionismo. LO NEGATIVO: No estoy super familiarizado como el género de "Farm Simulator" de modo que puede ser más un problema mío, pero la progresión y el gameplay me han parecido demasiado lento, torpe y difícil de navegar. El inventario siempre tenía que estar manejándolo, lo cual creo que no me habría importado tanto si tan solo se pudiera organizarlo fuera de nuestra casa, y todas las acciones de esprintar no costaran estamina. "Vaya, ¿Cogiste una seta por el camino y ahora tu inventario esta lleno y no puede recoger el cristal que necesitabas en la otra punta del mapa?" Se siente, vas a tener que volver a casa y agotar a tu dinosaurio antes y perder tu tiempo. No hay opciones de viaje rápido tampoco. Construir es obtuso, tienes que estar saliendo del menú constantemente. Y todo es caro, solo en comprar la comida de tus dinosaurio te gastas perfectamente cientos de monedas. Tengo que estar prácticamente trabajando de verdad, cultivando hortalizas en el huerto y venderlas para conseguir dinero. Y personalmente, no me gusta sentirme que estoy trabajando de verdad cuando juego a un videojuego. OTROS ASPECTOS: La historia es muy sencilla y los personajes con los que interactúas también. Personalmente no me ha molestado este aspecto, cumple su función perfectamente. Pero si buscas personajes entretenidos, no creo que sea tu juego. Creo que estaba buscando en Paleo Pines una experiencia más inclinada a cuidar y convivir con tus Dinosaurios y no tan centrada en la granja. He léido que el pasado 30/6/2026 anunciaron futuras optimizaciones para el juego. Quizás en un futuro, con suficientes mejoras del "Quality of life", le vuelva a dar una oportunidad. Pero hasta entonces, lo siento Paleo Pines y tus lindos dinosaurios, no has sido para mí
I really love to play Paleo Pines and would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes dinosaurs and quest based farming games. Make sure that your dino's pens are clean and that they're fed because otherwise they will slack off.
fun little game with growin your own crops and making friends with the local dinos. only 2 gripes is that sometimes its difficult to figure out what the dinos need to become a helper and that you need 2 dream stones in one enclosure to make it fit a biome which is kinda wasteful for the carnivores that are loners.v other than that its so relaxing and fun!
Highly recommend this game to anyone who loves dinos in a wholesome way. I've been seeing a lot of dino games coming out that are either straight up horror games or about hurting dinos that are hunting you. There are not a lot of games out here where you get to live alongside them peacefully like this. This may be more of a cozy sim, maybe more kiddy than many would like, but it is genuinely enjoyable to go out and find new dinos, especially the lesser known ones, and make friends with them, have them traveling alongside you, and feel accomplished. The art style is just so cute, cozy, and lovely, I love seeing my favorite dinos this way, although -and this is just my personal nitpicky opinion- I think the human models could be a bit cuter! I think that's just because I don't like the doll look, but that's just me. I enjoy the game all the same. The world is genuinely fun and beautiful to explore. There are puzzles to getting around that sometimes requires you have a dino with the right skills to open the path, other times it depends on your story progression. I am truly in love with what i've seen and am super excited for the kickstarter update. I was not able to support it, but I was able to buy the DLCs to add in what I could. I genuinely don't care if my name is in the credits. Its certainly nice, but what I care about more is seeing this game succeed. It really does deserve so much more love than its gotten. If this game is for you, please support it if you can! I can't wait to see more of what's in store!
