About the Game

Bring a Lost World Back to Life


Earth’s greatest mass extinction nearly wiped out life altogether. Ecosystems collapsed, the world fell silent, and the few survivors were forced to begin again.

In Epoch Vault, you will rebuild the story of the Triassic—from the first species to endure the catastrophe to the rise of dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and marine reptiles.

Discover, Develop, Restore


Generate resources, uncover ancient species and major events, strengthen your discoveries, and progress through the Early, Middle, and Late Triassic.

Every new discovery boosts your progress, while offline income continues to build even when the game is closed. Return to invest what you have earned and reveal the next chapter of a vanished world.

Complete the Triassic Volume


Uncover 70 interconnected discoveries that tell the story of an entire era:

  • ancient animals and plants;
  • the recovery of oceans and terrestrial ecosystems;
  • dramatic shifts in climate and geology;
  • the rise of the first dinosaurs and flying reptiles;
  • the events that ultimately brought the Triassic to an end.

Each discovery adds a new illustrated entry to the Codex, with detailed information about the creatures, environments, and events that shaped the period.

Publish the Volume and Begin Again


Once your restoration reaches its limit, publish the completed Volume to earn permanent bonuses and begin a new cycle—faster and more efficiently than before.

Gradually uncover every entry, complete every branch of progression, and restore the entire Triassic.

Features


  • relaxing idle progression at your own pace;
  • active upgrades and persistent offline income;
  • 70 discoveries and an extensive illustrated Codex;
  • the Early, Middle, and Late Triassic;
  • a prestige system built around publishing the Volume;
  • atmospheric music and a unified paleontology-inspired visual style;
  • a focused single-player experience with no pressure or time limits.

Follow life’s journey from near-total extinction to the dawn of the age of dinosaurs.
