What Primal Carnage is
Primal Carnage is an indie game developed by Lukewarm Media and released in 2012. It was published by Reverb Communications. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only. It runs on Unreal Engine 3.
The premise, in the publisher's words
“The Island”, a strange hidden world where man has taken the ultimate leap in science, where the long lost wonders of the distant past have been recreated, wonders which walk hand in hand with atrocities of the darkest nature. At present the facilities lie destroyed and abandoned, all the experiments have ceased, the buildings empty, the screams… silenced. The most meticulous of plans could not prepare them for the horrors they set upon themselves, horrors now running free across The Island. They had created dinosaurs. Now the Island needs reclaiming, the prehistoric beast brought under man’s control once more, and if this task is beyond our reach… then they must be destroyed.
