Get ready to step into a world of prehistoric chaos and sci-fi mystery—without reading a single word! Developer Lost Token and publisher Dionous Games have officially announced that Theropods, the hand-drawn, wordless point-and-click adventure, is launching on August 20th.

The game will be available across PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. To celebrate the news, a brand-new release date trailer has just dropped, offering a fresh glimpse at its unique gameplay and stunning pixel-art style.

What is Theropods?

Theropods isn’t your average point-and-click adventure. Forget heavy dialogue trees, endless subtitles, or walls of text—this game relies entirely on visual logic, body language, and audio cues to tell its story.

You control a young hunter living in a dangerous prehistoric world. When a glowing stone crashes from the sky, a bloodthirsty tribe attacks her village and enslaves her people. Escaping into the wild, she discovers the truth behind the mysterious stone: it belongs to a stranded spaceman whose damaged escape pod needs it to get home.

Forming an unlikely alliance, the hunter and the alien must navigate dense jungles, steep canyons, and dangerous dinosaur territories to free her tribe and help him return to the stars.

Brains Over Brawn

In Theropods, the world itself is one big puzzle. You won’t be fighting off ferocious predators with brute force; instead, you’ll need to outsmart them. Whether it’s tricking a sleeping T-Rex, sneaking past hostile barbarians, or interacting with curious local wildlife, every scenario requires creative problem-solving and keen observation.

Ten Years in the Making

Originating from a game jam project back in 2015 and boosted by a successful Kickstarter campaign, Theropods has been a labour of love for Lost Token co-founders Kostas Skiftas and Sarah Duffield-Harding. The ten-year journey has resulted in a meticulously crafted adventure boasting fluid hand-drawn animation translated into vibrant pixel art, paired with an immersive soundtrack blending tribal drums with atmospheric sci-fi synths.

Mark Your Calendars!

If you’re a fan of retro adventure games, classic animation, or visual storytelling, Theropods is definitely one to watch.
