CAUTION: THIS GAME IS HARD AND FULL OF JUMP SCARES!
OPERATION FOSSILFUEL
Deep under the Great Sitkin Island in Alaska, you find yourself in the heart of one of the greatest scientific research facilities on Earth! Genetic researchers have bred mutant dinosaurs! But things go bad when the base is invaded by shadowy special forces, looking to steal the dino DNA. You grab your guns and your ammo and prepare for a fight...
At its core, Fossilfuel is a survival horror game. The player is trapped in a massive underground facility, Sierra, located in a remote location in Alaska. The player must use their head to find clues and solve puzzles to escape the facility.
The game features several massive maps that the player can play in any way they want. Their decisions will decide the ending of the game. Once the player escapes the depths of Sierra, they are faced with the sprawling landscape that is, the Great Sitkin Island. The main story campaign will be a solid length of around 6 to 10 hours of gameplay depending on your skill level.
Experience a massive arsenal of weapons as you plow through a huge library of enemies. The game features a wide range of weapons that are not just traditional firearms, your standard FPS arsenal of Shotguns and rifles, but also weapons of science fiction! Weapons that can warp physics and crush your enemies' bones in seconds! The game runs on the power of the Unreal Engine, enabling crazy particle effects and physics as well as difficult enemy squad AI that tries to flank the player and calls for reinforcements as the situation dynamically calls for it. Enemy dinosaurs will use all their sense to track the player as well. A Velociraptor on the other side of the base is there...hunting you...always coming.
The game enemies also span into our Homosapien brothers. The enemy soldiers will call for reinforcements, radio ahead to comrades on the other side of the map to prep for the player, talk to each other, provide covering fire, flank manoeuvers, can spot dead comrades, watch and listen for the player to make sounds, and even spot the player clicking on their flashlight. These guys are tough but the player can cut them down with fun weapons like the black hole gun!
The Dinosaur AI is likewise very aggressive. Velociraptors have incredible eyesight and can hear every move you make. They tend to travel in pairs and love to perform flanking maneuvers as well. Raptors, however, are not the only baddies you will encounter. But you will have to play to find out!

Extremely fun! ^^
nice game
This is such a fun game. Are there some issues? Yes. It's not a perfect game. But I don't think the dev pretends it is. If you're like me finding yourself getting more and more fed up and tired of AAA gaming and gravitating towards indie experiences this is for you. There's so much passion here. Give it a shot you won't be disappointed.
start with a axe on my first day place blows up get eaten by dinosaur... start again pants soiled perfectly placed jumpscare. 6hrs later in hospital had several heartattacks and dehydrated 9/10 cant wait to play the next installment.
Joguei 20min, em 20min achei uns 9 tipos de bug diferente kkkkkkkk dinossauro travando em buracos, teleportando, te atacando sem te ver. O segundo jogo é mt melhor
Unfortunately, though I was able to finish the game, I can't really recommend it as a game because there are a lot of glaring issues with balance, and it is a performance mess. As a fun 90min exercise, I would recommend, but only for people chasing the vibe it offers. It works better as a very rough proof of concept. You aren't really running around hunting dinosaurs. It's more like a few set pieces where dinos jump out and scare the piss out of you while you wildly fire your gun and hope to drop a raptor before its lightspeed attacks take you out. On normal difficulty, one swipe takes down 50% of your health. It's brutal. The idea is fun if you're a dino-horror fan, but it's way to rough to be considered finished, I think. Considering it is $20 and takes 90min to beat (the extra hour of my playtime was replaying the very opening sequence before you can even defend yourself and eventually dropping the difficulty), I just don't recommend it. Needs way more polish for that price. Only played this to give the sequel (and eventually the third game) a try. [b]EDIT:[/b] Actually, I forgot to include that I actually loved the music. It tapped into that sort of 90s synthesizer popularized in horror stuff like X-Files. Big fan.
It's a good game, but not a great game. Has some lag issues throughout. Also stopped giving me achievements partway for some reason, so completionists be mindful of this. If you're looking for a true stealth game like Alien Isolation, this is NOT it. I beat the entire game in one sitting, and I pretty much just gave it the guns blazing approach. Slightly more spoiler-y notes: If you're having trouble with the first encounter (as many people seem to): [spoiler]Get the fire axe. Don't fight the raptor when you first see it. Sneak away and let its scripted feast continue until it starts roaming the facility in pursuit of you. When it comes at you just axe it. There's no point trying to stealth, it is going to find you no matter what, for some reason.[/spoiler] Other notes, [spoiler]-Dinosaurs are increasingly less relevant as the game goes on, which was a major bummer for me. -Made minimal use of health items, as getting hit by any dinosaur was often just a death sentence anyway. -While it does seem like you could go for a stealth approach after the first encounter if you wanted, the NPCs are quite stupid, the axe is powerful, and ammo is plentiful.[/spoiler] For my fellow Linux users, I played through using: Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon Proton 8.0-5
The game is janky but I expected that going into it. After fighting through a few bugs and glitches, I started to make some sense of it all. By the end, I managed to beat the game on hard and unlock a few decent achievements. I was mostly just curious about the game and if it offered anything special. I did like some of the weapons and there are a good amount of them too. At some parts the graphics were not too bad. During the factory part my computer started running hard and hot. It's not a polished game by any means but at least it's playable all the way through. Not too bad just don't expect much but $20 is pretty funny.
For a low budget small team game it was honestly not bad, the enemy AI felt decently smart but the T-Rex fight felt a bit lacklustre for the build up. Overall the story was decent but due to lack of subtitles and quiet dialogue maybe have missed some stuff. Although there was multiple endings I do not feel like I would want to play through it again just to see the alternate ending. The cut scenes were pretty decent and I'm happy AI was not used for the voice acting. Game length itself was a bit short at 1.5 hours but thoroughly enjoyed myself. I bought this game on sale at $10 and would not pay anything more for this game Props to the developer
This game is fun for what it is. Its not a Jurassic Park AAA title but its a great scary game featuring Dino's!
