Our take on Fossil Hunters
Instead of centering action-adventure progression on a conventional expedition, Fossil Hunters makes excavation and skeleton construction the main loop. Players choose how to assemble discoveries, while local multiplayer allows collaboration or competition during the same activity.
What is Fossil Hunters?
Fossil Hunters is a casual action-adventure game about excavating fossils and assembling dinosaur skeletons.
Players dig through more than 30 hand-crafted underground levels, finding fossil blocks that vary by soil type and environment. Pieces can be connected into complete skeletons, with players choosing the number and order of parts. Rare fossils and larger constructions can produce more valuable creations. Four fossil hunters are available, while secret items, treasure, creatures, dangers, and research notes add exploration objectives. Progress continues through completed fossil schematics that open deeper cave areas. Local multiplayer supports up to four players, who can cooperate on skeletons or compete for individual glory.
