Saurian

Saurian is a dinosaur survival simulation set in the Hell Creek ecosystem 66 million years ago. You play as a hatchling, with the choice of a Dakotaraptor or a Triceratops, and try to survive long enough to reach adulthood.

Explore Hell Creek for food and freshwater while avoiding predators and other hazards. As a carnivore, you hunt; as a herbivore, you forage and can stay with a herd. The surrounding animals also have needs and may interact with you accordingly.

Manage hunger, thirst, and health as you grow. Reviews describe using scent to locate prey, interacting with herd members, and seeking food suited to your dinosaur's age and abilities.

Players who enjoy Saurian often point to its prehistoric setting, attention to dinosaur life, and immersive environments; some also find the growth-and-survival experience absorbing. Many reviews, however, describe the game as incomplete, with a limited selection of playable dinosaurs and concerns about bugs, performance, and slow development.
