Welcome to Isla Nublar, where you and other scientists, dreamers, and schemers will build an attraction like no other. Take on the roles from some of your favorite characters from the franchise including John Hammond, Simon Masrani, Dr. Henry Wu, Dr. Ian Malcolm, and many more.
Together, you and your gaming crew will transform Isla Nublar into an astonishing paradise where awe-struck visitors encounter creatures never before seen by human eyes.

The art direction takes heavy inspiration from old Hawaiian tourist maps and pulp comics. We wanted the game to appear as if it had been printed a long time ago and just discovered by players today.
