Ambertail Games and Team17 have announced a brand new, and adorable, shop management sim called Amber Isle, where you can design your own dinosaur character and run your own prehistoric shop. It's coming to Switch as well as Steam, though no release date has been announced yet.
Blending Animal Crossing-style interactions and anthropomorphic character designs with management sim-style gameplay, you'll work to restore Amber Isle to its former glory and unite the town's residents.
Every single character is a different kind of dinosaur or prehistoric creature, known as Paleofolk. There are 48 unique characters who you'll need to befriend and each of them has specific needs. You're the island's only shopkeeper, and you'll get to design your own shop, choose what you can sell, and haggle with customers to make them happy and make sure you turn a profit.

It's not all just about your store, however. Amber Isle needs restoring and redecorating, and you'll get to help the townsfolk do just that. Improving the town will bring in more residents and improve the island's reputation. Explore the island, gather resources, and use them to help improve your shop and the island. And just get lost in the warm, cosy embrace of Amber Isle.
We'll share more details on Amber Isle as they come, but for now, you can wishlist the game on Steam.

This looks so cuuute! Love the look of the characters
Aaagh...!!!
AMBER ISLE ! 😃
I remembered there was cute Animal Crossing style game with dinosaur characters in development, now the game is almost ready to launch.
And the game get published by Team 17, a big chance for physical release.
This looks really cute (and promising). Aside from the obvious (Animal Crossing), it reminds me quite a bit of the eternally underrated Ever Oasis, which is a great thing.
At least it doesn't burden you with maintaining the island's economy in order to prop up your shop's profits! All the other dino's will just have to grow their money on trees
Imagine your little dino shop incorporating, replete with a room full of cute-but-ruthless dino shareholders demanding their quarterly returns.
...with that, I'm sold! ❤️
If it ends up being just as good as it looks (fingers crossed Nintendo Life will review it) I'm absolutely in, looks adorable!
shut up and take my money!
