Featured Game
s

Tamer: King of Dinosaurs is a narrative-driven adventure game with a high-end performance capture pipeline and gameplay inspired by ARK: Survival Evolved and the Monster Hunter series. 

The story follows a young man named Victor who has been abducted by aliens for unknown reasons and brought to a planet where he must fight for survival in a world overrun by vicious prehistoric beasts.

In addition to using his newfound taming powers to control dinosaurs and provide food and water for the women he has sworn to protect, their survival will involve a race against time to establish shelter before they are overrun by the impending migration of very hungry and dangerous monsters.
