We'd suggest anyone interested to play INSTINCTION should Wishlist on Steam, that way you will be notified when the game is released. The Standard Edition is a 33% discount on the launch price, you also get limited access to the private Discord with a monthly update on development progress not shared publicly, exclusive Discord role and early access to the public demo, this discount is only available for a few months. Within the 6 months leading up to launch an Early Access with 20% discount will be available without any additional benefits. Our Supporter Edition tier is mostly geared at players that want to directly support development, have full access to the private Discord server, provide early feedback, get access to Alpha builds of the game (not feature complete) and partake in early experimental features testing. Alpha builds will contain various mechanics, game features and modes including multiplayer, enemy and friendly AI. This limited and dedicated group of playtesters will allow us to iterate and achieve the best versions of in-game systems. The Alpha will start in Q3 2024 and continue through to release, divided into 4 phases and periodic updates. Initial focus is on single player campaign mechanics and additional game modes, CO-OP/ multiplayer will be included in subsequent updates, full roadmap available soon. The proceeds of this Supporter and Standard Editions will go entirely towards supporting the development of INSTINCTION.

Instinction will be available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox on release. We are largely prioritising next-gen consoles, given that Sony and Microsoft are four years into the new generation, they will likely only offer support for older consoles for a short period. For instance Sony will only support PS4 until 2025, Microsoft allows backwards compatibility across four generations of Xbox but of course performance will vary on older generations. Our ultimate goal is to maximise player usability across all devices and we're investigating services like GeForce NOW with our engagement partners at Nvidia, which delivers real-time gameplay straight from the cloud to your laptop, desktop, Mac, Chromebook, SHIELD TV, select Samsung and LG TVs, iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. This allows you maintain your existing purchase via Steam and other storefronts and the ability to stream high fidelity gameplay to practically any device. Supporter Edition holders will receive Alpha and Experimental branches prior to release on PC only via Steam. This is only available on PC because it is more straightforward and accessible for a studio of our size. The process of receiving feedback and interacting with our Supporters and pushing updates will be more immediate this way.

At the bottom of the INSTINCTION Steam page you can find the latest recommended and minimum specs. This will be updated after some more internal stress tests and external playtesting, as we continue to add efficiencies, we test on a full spectrum of PCs. Obviously better spec rigs will offer better quality, we're also making use of super sampling with Nvidia and Intel. Full performance testing results will be shared too once completed!

Our current roster has 29 dinosaurs at release, you can also expect prehistoric mammals and ambient fauna. There will also be different age, sex and colourations. For the general public we plan to keep some dinosaur reveals secret until release, Supporter Editions will get access to our full roster as we start on early concepting through to final models, animation and AI implementations.

A future DLC is planned with an additional 25 creatures, expansion pack with new characters and locations, as well as a few new game modes and mechanics. Our focus is on the initial release and some details are in discussion and we will be taking user feedback into account as we plan the DLC's.

Yes, INSTINCTION will have a narrative-driven campaign. A grounded, prehistoric science-fiction story that features a relatable protagonist contending with grief, the obligations of family, and the challenges of the incredible world she finds herself in. What begins as a simple trip to an isolated village becomes the adventure of a lifetime as Izzy is thrust in the middle of a modern conflict in an ancient, hidden world. Deep in the Yucatan Jungle, she discovers her grandmother's heritage: an incredible hidden civilization that lives side by side with dinosaurs, threatened by forces from without, and within... A fully realised wide-linear world with stunning architecture and a thriving prehistoric ecology with AI that interacts autonomously within the environment. Gameplay will feature a combination of stealth, ranged and melee combat, supernatural abilities, and environmental mechanics will translate to fresh takes on everything from dealing with waves of enemies to boss battles, there are sections where you can play as dinosaurs too. Additionally you will find other game modes, some geared toward multiplayer combat.
