Amber Isle is a Simulation Game developed by Ambertail Games and published by Team17.
You play as a shopkeeper who's just moved in to Amber Isle, a dying town inhabited by anthropomorphic prehistoric animals called paleofolk. You must improve the village in order to convince more residents to move in.

This game will contain examples of:
- Anachronism Stew: Animals from all across time live on Amber Isle. The characters revealed on the official Twitter during the countdown to the announcement trailer range from Dunkleosteus (382 - 358 million years old) to Smilodon (2.5 million to 10,000 years old).
- Flying Postman: In the announcement trailer, Maple Swiftwing the Pteranodon says she's Amber Isle's only courier.
- Mix-and-Match Critters: As shown in the announcement trailer, when customising the player character, you can choose a variety of parts from different species. This is lampshaded by Vinny, who doesn't know what you are.
- Token Human: Originally, as seen in the 2021 trailer and several early screenshots, the player character was the only human in a world of anthropomorphic animals. This was changed around 2024 because so many people asked the developers if they could design their own paleofolk.
