| Our book The First Fracture is now free! | 2026-07-02 | The Story Behind This Game Is Now Free Before Owen ever appeared on your screen, he appeared on a page. You're one of 600 people who have stepped through the fracture in this game. What most of you don't know is that this world started somewhere else first. The First Fracture, Book One of the Dino Age universe, follows almost the same story you've already played. A fourteen-year-old kid named Owen. A tear in the membrane between eras, out in the Arizona desert. A door into a world he was never supposed to find. Until now, reading it cost something. For a limited time, it doesn't.

And that kept us going. This video is our story. Mark and Jimmy — two people, building this from scratch. Full-time jobs, limited hours, and a universe we refuse to leave unfinished. In this devlog we walk you through how we got here: from the original idea four years ago, through the prototype, the book, the vertical slice, and now the Survive the Eras demo l |
