Welcome to the captivating world of "Carpe Dino: Seize the Date," the dinosaur dating simulator!
You, a peaceful Ankylosaurs, lived in your swamps for the last few decades until your routine was roughly interrupted...
A huge Rock now hangs in the sky, and rumors suggest that only a grand journey away from home might save the dinos. However, such a journey cannot be undertaken alone — you'll have to find a companion for the adventure.
So, what exactly awaits you on the twisted roads of ancient Pangea?
✦ Four Romanceable Characters
As long as you find dinosaurs romanceable, yes.
✦ Four Non-Romanceable Characters (NPCs = NRCs, hah!)
Talk to the insects, plants, and other ancient creatures to learn more about the world around you and guide your way through the burning lands of Pangea.
✦ 3+ hours of gameplay
A visual novel at the core and a topping of several arcade-like mini-games will ensure a rich experience.
✦ 10 possible endings: Live and Die, Save or Abandon
On your way, you will face multiple dangers and inspire your mates to stand against them. Believe little old me, your happily-ever-after won’t come to you easily!
Talk to everyone you can, choose your favorites to accompany you on the run, protect them, and be protected. If you play your cards right, you might even survive the Great Dying :>
