A Very Safe Dino Park Is the Chaotic Co-Op Jurassic Game You Didn't Know You Needed

Developer Panic Stations has revealed A Very Safe Dino Park, a one-to-four player co-op sim that drops players into the thankless role of dinosaur park staff. Described as a chaotic friendslop title in the vein of Peak and Overcooked, the game tasks teams with feeding hungry dinosaurs, cleaning up their messes, managing ticket sales, and keeping the lights on, literally. A power outage unlocks every exhibit gate, letting the dinosaurs loose on guests in spectacularly gory, comedic fashion. Players can also tranquilize each other, fling dino poop at friends, or trap teammates inside exhibits with deadly creatures for maximum chaos. The game comes from Panic Stations, who also released Frog Sqwad earlier this year. A Very Safe Dino Park features a charming cartoon art style and earns its mature content label: when guests are killed, body parts can be fed into a biofuel generator to keep the park running. There is no confirmed release date yet, but the game has already surpassed 100,000 Steam wishlists, signaling strong appetite for the next big co-op hit.
