Saurian is a survival simulation video game, developed and published by Urvogel Games, focusing upon accurately simulating the natural ecosystem of the Hell Creek Formation in an interactive format where players take control of a dinosaur. The game uses the Unity engine as its base, and was launched in Early Access release on July 31, 2017. The game is slated for release on Microsoft Windows and MacOS through Steam, with a Linux version to be developed after completion.

Saurian is a survival simulation game set in an open world environment where the player takes control of one of the six dinosaurs (Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Dakotaraptor, Pachycephalosaurus, Anzu and Ankylosaurus from a third-person perspective.) and attempt to survive within a scientifically accurate environment based on fossil evidence from the Hell Creek Formation. Starting as a hatchling, the player must avoid predators and manage their thirst, hunger and stamina wisely in order to reach maturity and reproduce. The world is populated by A.I-controlled dinosaurs, which respond to the game's mechanics in the same way players do. Players will be able to customize their dinosaur's physical and pattern traits, and will be able to play with genetic variants, such as albinism and melanism. These genetic variants will have the same impacts on gameplay as they do on real-life animals. A Spectator mode is also planned, allowing players to explore the game world without the challenges of its survival simulation mechanics. Virtual reality is also under development due to substantial campaign funding. Both the fauna and flora of Saurian were developed with the guidance of leading paleontological and anatomical experts, including Dr. Victoria Arbour, Robert DePalma, Dr. Denver Fowler, Dr. John R. Hutchinson, Dr. Ali Nabavizadeh, Dr. Matt Wedel and Dr. Gregory Wilson. Dakotaraptor will be the first and only playable animal available when the game is first released into Early Access on Steam. The five remaining playable dinosaurs will be added as follows- Triceratops, Pachycephalosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus in Early Access, with Anzu and Ankylosaurus thereafter. Note that stretch goals will not be implemented until the base game is complete.
