Theropods Roars Into View With New Gameplay Trailer
A wordless point-and-click adventure where a prehistoric hunter and a stranded spaceman take on dinosaurs together, launching July 23, 2026.
June 9, 2026 — Indie studio Lost Token and publisher Dionous Games today revealed a new trailer for Theropods, the hand-animated point-and-click adventure arriving on Steam this July. The new trailer offers the deepest look yet at the game’s puzzles, pixel-art world and the unlikely friendship at its heart. After six years in development and a successful Kickstarter campaign, Theropods is heading toward its July 23, 2026, release on PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store).
Theropods is a classic point-and-click adventure built around visual logic: no dialogue, no subtitles, no text walls. The world itself is the puzzle. Watch how creatures behave, how characters react and how each scene shifts as you poke, prod and experiment your way through it.
Players guide a young hunter across a vivid prehistoric world of jungles, valleys, canyons, caves and wild dinosaur territory. Every screen hides a problem to unpick: a sleeping predator, a guarded passage, a curious creature with an exploitable habit. Every object, animal and gesture might be the key.
It’s a game of brains over brawn. Instead of fighting your way through danger, you solve your way through it. Distract hungry dinosaurs, slip past bloodthirsty barbarians, trigger reactions in the environment and find clever ways out of situations too deadly to face head-on.
A glowing stone falls from the sky into a young hunter’s village. Its arrival draws a bloodthirsty tribe that attacks the settlement and enslaves her people. Escaping into the jungle, she discovers the stone’s true origin: a stranded spaceman whose damaged pod depends on it. Together, this unlikely pair must cross a hostile prehistoric world to free her tribe and send him home, told entirely through animation, gesture and sound.
