The animated version is an epic survival action story that transcends time, and the story begins when 21st century paleontologist Helena Walker is resurrected on a mysterious, primitive island.
The island is inhabited by many ancient creatures including dinosaurs, and there are also people who have come from various eras, and in order to survive in this new environment, Helena cooperates with her friends and learns the secrets of the island. We will uncover the reason why they were gathered on the island.
The preview video shows people being attacked by the merciless nature, giving us a feeling that a desperate struggle for survival is about to begin. Will Helena be able to survive when she is forced to live in a harsh environment where 21st century common sense does not apply, such as living a self-sufficient life and encountering unknown creatures?
