There are a ton dinosaur’s survival and survival-horror games in the market, but none compares to the game’s premise of being stranded alone on an island with deadly creatures and many other threats.

We are used to confronting these types of games as a heavily armed military-trained warrior or an experienced survivor. This time, you are just a regular person without these special skills. Goner’s main goal is to make you experience fear through immersion in a hostile environment, where every decision you make is important to stay alive.

The dinosaurs models, sounds and behaviors are going to be accurate with the latest scientific research.
