A point and click adventure game with no words, set in prehistoric times where dinos lurk around every corner - the new Theropods trailer looks great. There's still a demo available to try out ahead of the release in July.

What is it? Theropods is a classic point-and-click adventure built around visual logic: no dialogue, no subtitles, no text walls. The world itself is the puzzle. You have to watch how creatures behave, how characters react and how each scene shifts as you poke, prod and experiment your way through it. In it you guide a young hunter across a vivid prehistoric world of jungles, valleys, canyons, caves and wild dinosaur territory. Every screen hides a problem to unpick: a sleeping predator, a guarded passage, a curious creature with an exploitable habit. Every object, animal and gesture might be the key.

Check out the trailer below:

It's giving me Another World/Dragon's Lair vibes. I can get with that.
