June 6, 2025 – Dionous Games welcomes you to a world where humans and dinosaurs coexist. Theropods, a visually striking point-and-click adventure set in a lush, prehistoric world, will make its long-awaited debut during Steam Next Fest on June 9, where players can try the brand-new demo for the very first time.

Blending classic adventure game mechanics with cinematic storytelling and richly animated pixel art, Theropods offers a nostalgic yet modern take on the genre. Players solve environmental puzzles, escape deadly creatures, and uncover a story of survival, mystery, and friendship - told entirely through visual storytelling.

Created pixel by pixel, frame by frame, Theropods is more than a retro throwback. It plays like a lost gem of the ’90s, but with the clarity and confidence of today.

“We started Theropods as a tiny Flash game in a 2015 game jam,” said Kostas Skiftas and Sarah Duffield-Harding, developers of Theropods and founders of Lost Token. “Over the years, we faced numerous setbacks and were driven by passion alone. What carried us through wasn’t a single innovation, but a quiet, persistent belief in the game’s unique voice and its potential to connect with players.”
