July 18th 2024 – Ambertail Games and Team17 Digital announced earlier this week that the game will be coming to Steam this October 10th and now are hyped to revealed that the Nintendo Switch version will be available for lovers of all things jurassic and cute October 31st.

Being the new owner of a failing shop is no mean feat, and once players have created their own Paleo-persona, they’ll need to roll up their sleeves and get their claws dirty as they work to maintain the shop. Players will spend their days bartering with stubborn customers, stocking shelves with everything their paleo pals might need, befriending the locals, improving the village, and exploring the surrounding areas for new items to craft, all in an attempt to convince their fellow Paleofolk to return to Amber Isle permanently.
Did you know: The oldest known dinosaur is Saltopus and while scientists haven't confirmed this we believe it was known by its friends as Ol' Salty.
Amber Isle Key Features:
-
Open Shop: Customise, name, and run your shop your way – use the profits to unlock new shop décor, walls, floors, and more, making the space uniquely yours.
-
Rebuild the Island: Rebuild, decorate, and unlock new areas to explore on Amber Isle, and with enough improvement, Paleofolk will start to take up residence on the island permanently.
