Press release:
Walnut Creek, Calif. (June 19, 2023).
Have you ever thought that your cozy, hand-built ranch would be a lot better if it were filled with an array of unique, friendly dinosaurs?

Well, your dream is about to become reality because Modus Games today launched a “Paleo Pines” demo in Steam Next Fest. The dino-rancher, launching September 26, 2023 on PC, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, can be tried out starting now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1202200/Paleo_Pines

Today’s announcement was accompanied by a new overview trailer showcasing Paleo Pines’ adorable cast of dinos and the ranch you’ll be housing your new friends in as you work to build a homestead from scratch. Farming is a lot more fun with a crew of dinosaur helpers at your side:

Recently nominated for Most Anticipated Game in the Indie Cup Awards, Paleo Pines offers a wonderfully quirky world filled with dinosaurs and welcoming townsfolk. But for all its wonders, the island of Paleo Pines has just as many secrets. It’s up to you and your companion, a delightful Parasaurolophus named Lucky, to uncover the mysteries of Paleo Pines while creating the most fruitful home you can. And the best part – you can befriend all the dinos you can find along the way.

With your trusty dino friends by your side, you’ll meet townspeople and enlist their help in fixing up your ranch and growing crops. With in-depth character customization and a broad selection of styles, you can turn your plot of land into the dino ranch of your dreams, and with customization options you can dress it, and yourself, in the style of your choosing.

Taming dinos is the name of the game in Paleo Pines – tasty treats, nose boops and comfy pens will aid you in your quest to fill your dino haven with a variety of creatures.

You’ll keep track of them, learn to identify their dislikes, and note their favorite habits with a handy dino journal. Paleo Pines also provides an abundant wilderness to explore – from flowery fields to high canyons, you can make the most out of each day exploring enchanting landscapes and witnessing dinos in lush wildlands.

The world is your oyster in this delightful farming sim coming to PC and consoles on September 26, 2023. Download the demo today to get started building the ranch of your dreams: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1202200/Paleo_Pines
