Amber Isle

About

Amber Isle casts you as the new shopkeeper in a sleepy village populated by prehistoric animal villagers called Paleofolk. Your job is to craft and sell custom items that solve their oddball needs like a table for a brontosaurus or a waterproof picnic set. Upgrade your shop, explore the island to unlock new recipes, and use profits to expand the village. As you befriend customers, some will move in and start their own homes, gradually transforming the island into a bustling community. The game stands out for its charming art style and lighthearted character interactions. Each Paleofolk has distinct personalities and quirky dialogue that makes building relationships feel rewarding. With a focus on creative problem solving and incremental progress, it blends resource management with social simulation. Launching on PC and Switch in October 2024, it’s a cozy project from Ambertail Games published by Team17.

Storyline

Amber Isle is a shop management/social sim set in a quaint, friendly world of prehistoric animal villagers called Paleofolk! Tasked with opening the only shop in a small, sleepy village, you find yourself crafting and selling items to solve unique problems of the unusual clientele. A table big enough for a brontosaurus, a water-proof picnic set for a plesiosaur, or a special toothbrush for a sabre-toothed cat! By exploring and upgrading the isle, discovering new recipes and befriending customers, eventually some Paleofolk will want to move in and become neighbours. Make the shop of your dreams, befriend a cast of dinosaur characters and bring the village back to life!
