The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Fossilfuel feels like a hard, jump-scare-filled first-person survival horror shooter where you fight mutant dinosaurs and special forces in a research facility.

What players say

Players say Fossilfuel is a very short, janky horror shooter that relies on jump scares and dinosaur set pieces. Opinions split on the second half, which swaps dinosaurs for human soldiers, with some finding it a letdown. The head bobbing and wonky AI annoy many, and achievements are often buggy, though the raptors having feathers is a appreciated detail.
