The game alternates between a top-down scrolling outdoor view and first-person maze-like indoor areas. As Grant, you travel between island facilities, restore power, collect items, and complete objectives such as recovering dinosaur eggs and reaching key locations. Combat is limited and resource-based, relying on weapons like a tranquilizer gun and CO2 grenades. Progress depends on finding access codes, navigating maps, and surviving dinosaur encounters while managing limited supplies and timing.

Characters
Dr. Alan Grant

The disgruntled programmer whose sabotage sets the island's disaster in motion.
Tyrannosaurus Rex
A major predator threat encountered during the island escape.

Strategy
Keep movement deliberate in outdoor areas and learn enemy patterns before committing to a route. Save ammunition for unavoidable threats, since weapons are mainly for creating openings rather than clearing every dinosaur. In first-person sections, use maps and room landmarks to avoid getting lost, and prioritize objectives that restore power or unlock new areas. When possible, avoid direct confrontation and use the environment to break line of sight.
