Press release:
Walnut Creek, Calif. (April 26, 2023).
The Walnut Creek-based (CA, the US) indie games publisher Modus Games and Holywood-based (Northern Ireland) indie games developer Italic Pig, are today very happy and excited to announce that their adorable and touching dino ranch-builder “Paleo Pines” is coming digitally and physically to PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) this Fall (2023).

“Paleo Pines” is a wonderfully quirky island populated with friendly dinosaurs and welcoming townsfolk. When you arrive in Paleo Pines, you’ll move into an old ranch that you need to fix up. Make your own patch of paradise with the help of the wacky townsfolk of Pebble Plaza and the newfound friendship of the wild dinosaurs of the region. But it’s more than just a farming sim – it’s up to you and your trusty Parasaurolophus, Lucky, to uncover the lost history of Paleo Pines.

Meet dinosaurs while enlisting them to fix up your ranch and grow crops to create a cozy sanctuary in this unique, charming farming sim. 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.

Befriending dino companions 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 haven with a variety of creatures. You’ll keep track of their dislikes and favorites with a handy dino journal. Paleo Pines also provides a variety of locations to explore – from flowery fields to high canyons, you can make the most out of each day discovering enchanting landscapes and witnessing different species in the lush wilderness.

Paleo Pines is coming to PC and consoles this fall. Keep up to date with Modus at @Modus_Games and @italicpig on Twitter or visit www.paleopines.com.
