Theropods: Prehistoric Adventure Game with Puzzles and Hand-Drawn Graphics Launches August 20th
When we talk about "point-and-click" adventures, we often think of elaborate yet humorous conversations, while we desperately search for the quirky solution to the next puzzle that will advance us, aided by written clues, dialogues, or object descriptions. However, in Theropods, there's practically none of that.
Theropods is a prehistoric adventure with a touch of "pulp" fiction, where a young huntress seeks a way to free her tribe from barbarians holding them captive. Simultaneously, a space traveler crashes in a rescue pod, and it seems their only chance of escaping the planet is to team up with this girl. Oh, and in this universe, much like in the film "One Million Years B.C.", there are dinosaurs everywhere.
What makes this graphic adventure so special is that there isn't a single line of text, not even a single word. The entire narrative is purely visual, and the universe itself is the grand puzzle to be solved. Furthermore, Theropods has been hand-animated frame by frame, has been in development for over ten years, and will finally be available this month. It will be released on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store on August 20th. You can get a glimpse of it below if you're interested.
