Heya! Look at our game Clever Girls:
It's like reverse Jurassic Park! You play as dinosaurs that break out of their enclosures on a remote island.

It's a 3D turn-based tactical RPG / VN with colorful characters and relationship-management mechanics with an all-female cast. Wishlist it on Steam!

Wanna read about dinosaurs? This dinosaur, specifically!

Hey all! Thanks for following the Clever Girls project! We've been blown away by the response to the demo, which has exceeded our expectations by far. It's been so gratifying to see the characters...

Also, check out a screenshot of a VN event that was previously disabled due to a bug. See if you can find in the new build!

A screenshot of the game Clever Girls. Daisy, a large dinosaur, has tears in her eyes. She is crying over a broken wooden camp mascot standee. The dialogue in the image reads "Nooo! He kept the forest safe! His slogan could even make the humans behave..."

Hotfix is up! Update the demo if you haven't.

Ossifrage Games @ossifragegames.bsky.social · Aug 7

We've discovered a crash that's fairly common when an enemy in the second phase of the second battle takes their turn under certain conditions. Working on a hotfix!

The Clever Girls Demo releases tomorrow! To share our excitement, have a no-context screenshot from one of the demo's scenes:

A visual-novel style screenshot from the game Clever Girls. Prati and Shade, two dinosaurs, are speaking. Prati looks shocked. Shade looks smug. The dialogue in the image reads as such:

SHADE: "There are skeletons within all of us, Prati. Us dinosaurs should be especially aware of this."

DINOSAURS REAL!!! Demo release date: August 7th!

The Clever Girls DEMO will be playable on Steam Aug. 7th! We're calling it a "Dress Rehearsal", so it won't have every mechanic the full game will, but it should have enough for you to find out if you're interested! #clevergirls

Lending a helping (and not so helping) hand...

Concept art for Clever Girls !

A colorful ornithomimid stands on the snout of a much larger yellow-green and orange megalosaurid, reaching up to the top of a warehouse shelf to grab a plush ceratopsian. In the foreground, a dromaeosaurid struggles and fails to jump to reach the same plushies.

We made our dinos look at whatever the player targets! Really makes them feel more lifelike, no?

Just answered a very interesting question on our development blog! (Did you know we have a development blog?) It concerns the "player character" and relationship systems. And also, another Prati sketch.

Clever Girls Development Blog

Hello, main thing I want to ask is due to the apparent relationship angle of the game. Are we meant to pick a character, or are a specified one (Sawyer?). And if that is the case, the question is on.....

We’re polishing up our UI, VFX, and other little details in order to make the stealth and enemy knowledge systems intuitive (without overloading the player with information)

Getting closer to a demo release, bit by bit!

The simple game dev joy of adding new foliage models to the terrain and then going “ooh” and “aah” at all your outdoor levels. 🌱

The demo for Clever Girls is coming along! We're currently working on polishing up our battle UI. We just added rebind-aware control prompts, that can also detect if you switch between gamepad or mouse+keyboard.

Apart from battles, much of the player's time in Clever Girls will be spent exploring abandoned, decaying places, marveling at the wonders the humans left behind.
