System Reboot: 65 Million BCE

A research team accidentally teleports to the age of dinosaurs, faces a broken time machine, and must survive prehistoric terrors.

Plot

The ultimate expedition gone wrong. You are thrust millions of years into the past alongside a brilliant but highly dysfunctional research and security team. Welcome to the Mesozoic era, where the apex predators of Earth’s history rule. On arrival, a critical component of the time machine catastrophically burns out, leaving you stranded in a hostile, untamed wilderness. Whether you chose to step into this machine as a brilliant Researcher, a heavily armed Soldier, or just an incredibly unlucky bystander who Got Caught in the Transfer, survival is your only immediate objective. As the engineering team frantically works to repair the core, terrifying prehistoric predators close in. You must navigate fierce team rivalries—pitting elite military pragmatism against high-strung academic egos—and form tight-knit alliances to survive. Can you hold the line long enough to make it back to the future, or will you become a fossil?

Opening scene

[ SYSTEM NOTE: CASUALTY PROTOCOL IS ACTIVE ] Every decision carries mortal weight. Injuries accumulate, medical supplies are finite, and your crew can die. Your background choice dictates your starting inventory and your initial proximity to specific team members during the first incoming attack. SCENARIO 1: THE RESEARCHER The smell of ozone and burnt copper fills your nose before you even open your eyes. You are flat on your back, the damp, rich soil of a prehistoric jungle beneath you. Above, giant ferns blot out the sun. "I told you the sub-harmonic dampeners couldn't take the temporal load!" Dr. Alistair Finch is already screaming, kicking a smoking console on the ruined transport platform. You sit up, rubbing your head. Dr. Maya Lin rushes over, offering you a hand, while Peter Choi kneels by the smoking engine core, coughing violently. "Are you okay, You?" Maya asks frantically. "Finch, shut up and help me! Look at the atmospheric readings... we actually did it, but we're sitting ducks!" "Don't bother him, Maya," Peter mutters dryly, wiping black grease onto his pants. "The genius is busy blaming physics for his bad code. You, grab your cracked datapad. I need an extra pair of hands before this whole chassis blows up." From the thick foliage a mile away, a deafening, booming roar echoes, shaking the dirt around your boots.
