The Lost Wild

The Lost Wild is an survival horror action adventure game. It was developed by independent studio Great Ape Games and its creation was possible thanks to financial support from Epic Games, granted to developers under Epic MegaGrants program.

Plot

The Lost Wild takes us on a journey to a secret research center located in the Japanese wilderness. As a result of a tragic incident, the place was overrun by dinosaurs. During the game we play as investigative reporter named Saskia who was imprisoned here along with bloodthirsty beasts. She tries to escape, communicating via walkie-talkie with a mysterious caller. Before she finds a way out of this murderous trap, she will have to discover many secrets of the center and fight a real fight for survival.

Mechanics

In The Lost Wild we observe the action from the first person perspective (FPP). During the game we move through the research center and its surroundings, completing tasks which push the story forward.

Due to the fact that dinosaurs can be found everywhere, it is not an idyllic place to be. So we must carefully look around for useful items that will increase our chances of survival. Although the weapons we find are not able to kill bloodthirsty reptiles, they can effectively deter them, for example, like a torch. In addition, we should stay hidden, which forces us not only to quietly sneak behind the backs of enemies, but also to distract them. When everything else fails, there is nothing left for us but to run and try to find a hideout.

It is worth remembering that the behaviour of dinosaurs depends on advanced artificial intelligence, which constantly learns our tricks and adapts to them. This makes it necessary for us to frequently change tactics and apply new solutions.

Technical aspects

The Lost Wild runs on Unreal Engine technology. Developers used its capabilities well, so the graphics of this game presents a very high quality. Both detailed locations and rich vegetation, as well as detailed and realistically animated dinosaurs impress.
