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.
