About Primeval Genesis

Primeval Genesis is a third-person, hobbyist-built, narrative-driven survival shooter set on a remote island where prehistoric life has been brought back through experimental science. You play as Cole, a quiet and reserved prior service member hired on a contracted assignment by a shadowy corporation to provide security and ranger services.What begins to appear as a quiet vacation of a job quickly spirals into chaos as strange events unfold on the secluded island and unseen threats begin to emerge.Survive against deadly dinosaurs, hostile creatures, conspiratorial human factions, and the island’s stark contrast of dense jungle and industrial decay. Piece together the clues scattered across brutalist research labs, chemical storage sites, and crumbling power stations—assisted by your training officer and sarcastic, battle-hardened brit, Vinny.This handcrafted single-player experience, created by a small team in Unreal Engine 4, seeks to blend environmental storytelling, cinematic gameplay, tension, and grounded science fiction to deliver a gripping and atmospheric story with an unsettling but wonderous backdrop.

Gameplay Features

🧠 Functional Enemies
Enemies are built to think, hunt, and attack. Raptors ambush in large tactical teams, Rexes overpower with brute force and chase relentlessly and human adversaries aim for the chinks in the armor. Watch as Raptors take down a roaming Stegosaurus from a safe distance, bait a rex into a chase and watch the action unfold chaotically as Cole.🧩 Environmental Puzzles
Survive hastily built, crumbling industrial infrastructure and lush ecosystems by navigating outdated machinery, rerouting power, and bypassing hazardous zones filled with many a danger.🚙 Vehicles
Featuring a 4x4 Cole can drive, or ride along in some sequences. 🎒 Inventory and Items
Use tools in real-time to turn the tide: auto-injectors for healing or some sugary soda to give you a speed boost.📓 Environmental Storytelling
Uncover the fate of the facility’s staff through scattered journal entries, destroyed rooms, and haunting audio logs left behind in their final hours.🎬 Cinematic-Focused Gameplay
Story-driven sequences and radio-based NPC communication deliver a tight short cinematic experience that supports immersion without dragging control away from the player.

✦ AI summary

Primeval Genesis captures the nostalgic atmosphere of classic Jurassic Park films with solid shooting mechanics and immersive 90s-era survival gameplay that dinosaur fans appreciate, but it suffers from significant technical issues including camera problems, game-breaking bugs, crashes, and poorly balanced boss encounters that often require exploits to overcome. Players are divided on whether the janky execution undermines the promising core experience, with some finding charm in its rough edges and others viewing it as an unfinished cash grab not worth purchasing.

This game is very jank but fun though the worst part if you can get past the horrible camera in first person is going to be the final t rex boss fight where I died multiple times getting 1 tapped by that dino like its a mw2 1 v 1. That T-rex will literally run faster than you and you might think to get up on the high rocks (which he will climb) or maybe running around in circles but none of those will work as it will still grab you in one bite. In order to win I had to glitch the t-rex into palm tree & rock and unload hundreds of rounds into it to win. After that it gets worse with the camera shaking all over the place and explosions as the platform beneath you collapses similar to that one level in Halo 3 without the shaky camera of course. Beyond this there were a few annoying glitches like being unable to pick up guns and Cole holding a rifle weird. Cole needs a better voice actor or AI voice actor too. I would wait until further updates come out before you buy this game since its not too bad just needs a lot of work but keep in mind it is pretty jank https://youtu.be/FVvjIMqYTfY

This is a very promising game, if you like Jurassic Park you can't miss it! I think I had never seen before a non-official JP-inspired game that reproduces so accurately the long lost feels of the first movie. Some dinosaurs look very similar to their JP counterparts, but it's not just that. The setting and the atmosphere of this game are incredible, a perfect dive back into the 90's, it's like going back once again to Isla Nublar. Perfect immersion into a type of mood that movies don't seem to be able to create any more unfortunately. The gameplay is very fun too, mostly thanks to the shooting that feels very good, very "crunchy", it gives satisfaction. Yes, there are still several important bugs that must be issued, and the bare-bones enemy AI needs to be heavily reworked, but the (solo) developer is very active and responsive, and listens to criticism with an open mind, and this is a VERY good sign. If you are one of those self-proclaimed paleonthologists that are currently proliferating on steam forums and you absolutely need to see scientific accuracy everywhere (as the trend goes nowadays for some reason), then this is not the game for you, but if you just want to live a fun …

Great little game, the ending is sudden and not to my liking but the game wasn't bad, felt nostalgic! Feels like Jurassic Park if you were random merc #5

STAY AWAY. Don’t waste your money. This is a shameless asset flip that feels padded with low-effort AI slop. It’s blatantly unfinished, aggressively buggy, and crashes often enough to make it a chore instead of a game. Half the time it doesn’t even load properly, and when it does, it randomly refuses to recognize inputs. Textures are missing, visuals are broken, and the whole thing screams “cash grab.” This shouldn’t be on a storefront. It’s not “rough around the edges” or “needs polish” it’s fundamentally not working. Avoid.

Good game. Simple. Fun. Very niche as well. Worth the price and would recommend to anyone looking to play something with a good storyline on their free time :D

This game is great if you have that itch to fight dinosaurs! Get on and show them you would survive Jurassic Park!
