Amber Isle

Amber Isle is a shop management and social simulation game set on an island inhabited by prehistoric animal islanders called Paleofolk. With the island down to its last residents, you open its only shop and work to bring Amber Isle back from the brink of fossilisation.

Run the shop

Gather, craft and sell items to meet the needs of diverse Paleofolk customers. Customers have different needs, behaviours and preferences to learn: a brachiosaur might need a canvas long enough for its neck, while a microraptor may need a miniature chair. You can haggle, pawn and counter-offer as you climb the Shop Rankings.

Name and customise your shop, then use its profits to unlock decor, walls, floors and other options. As the shop grows in popularity, you can expand its floorspace and plan its layout to make it more efficient.

Rebuild Amber Isle

Shop profits can also go towards rebuilding the island and unlocking new areas. Decorate with paths, foliage and amenities to make Amber Isle more attractive; Paleofolk will consider moving in permanently once the island has been improved.

Meet the Paleofolk

Amber Isle has 48 Paleofolk to befriend. They include dinosaurs, Ice Age mammals, Permian amphibians, marine life, invertebrates and more, and each has a distinct personality, preferences, dialogue and quests. Spend time with them and fulfil their requests to grow your friendships. As those friendships develop, Paleofolk share upgrades and recipes, and can build their own stalls, cafes, gardens and communal areas.

Your character

Use the character customiser to choose your Paleofolk’s clothes, crests, colours and other details. You can choose from five body presets: Small Herbivore, Large Herbivore, Raptor, Large Theropod and Mammal.

The island’s story

Amber Isle has dwindled to three remaining residents: Mayor Clawsworth, a grumpy iguanodon; Maple, a peppy pteranodon courier; and Adi, a mega-keen megalosaurus intern. In a last-ditch effort to revive the island, Mayor Clawsworth reluctantly agrees to let you open a shop. During your adventure, you learn more about your new friends, the island’s history and how it fell into disrepair.
