What kind of campaign would you say this was? The campaign is called TED:x (or) Terrifyingly Enormous Dinosaurs: Extinction. Here are its tag line and description.
Paradice Inc needs you!
Welcome, citizen.
Are you fed-up of the rat race? Is the low-level grind getting you down? Do you yearn for the good old days of adventure? Then stop by your local Paradice Inc recruitment centre now, to claim your piece of the new world. Whether you're seeking fame and fortune, or just in it for the glory; Paradice Inc can make all your dreams come true, provided that is, you don't get eating by the natives first.
Paradice Inc: Learn, Live, Hope!
That is, so what do you think? What kind f campaign would you say this was?

I think this sounds like a survival and exploration hexcrawl adventure with some meme-y elements (the name of the campaign for example).
I also think it's got some (likely unintentional) unsavoury colonial overtones. As pointed out, saying "provided that is you don't get eaten by the wildlife first" would be better than 'natives'. Also, unless this campaign is going to feature no actual, native peoples (just wildlife), the line "to claim your piece of the new world" has more unpleasant implications to do with colonialism.
I also agree it's got a Total Recall vibe, along with Acquisitions Incorporated.
I think if you reframed the few problematic (on the surface of things) elements, it might make for a fun, dark comedy survival campaign from the sounds of it.
Survival/exploration with a little Aperture Science thrown into the mix. It wouldn't surprise me if Paradice Inc was some kind of amoral inept/mismanaged corporation playing God poorly and the players would have to try and pick up the pieces on this island.

Due to the "provided that is, you don't get eating by the natives first", slightly racist.
One presumes the “natives” are the dinosaurs.

The expression itself reeks of stereotypical colonialist undertones. "Wildlife" would have been a much better way to put it.
