addedThis last weekend we released our "Lucky Finds" update to the prototype on Itch and GX Games and saw a major spike in plays! Between the two sites the game now has a combined play count of over 35 000 which is so wild and has made us incredibly happy. All the feedback, comments, reviews have been great to read and super helpful too. And thank you to everyone who has been reporting bugs - you are the best!
addedWe've added Lucky Finds! This is a collection of TWENTY FOUR different paleontological, geological and archeological finds you can collect during your expeditions and put on display in your awesome new display cabinets. These are all small items that can not be picked up by your scanner so it's always a nice surprise when you find one! Once you get home you can organise all your cool rocks and tiny fossils.
addedNow that you've found all these awesome artifacts and fossils, you'll need somewhere to put them! We have added display cases so you can show your Lucky Finds to your visitors.

WANT TO PLAY? Head on over to our Itch page:

https://unsigneddoublecollective.itch.io/fossil-quest We are still struggling to get saves to work in the browser version on GX Games :-( So we recommend you play the game on Itch if you want to keep your progress. The downloadable build looks nicer anyways! ;-)

If you want to chat Fossil Quest or leave us some feedback you can join our discord:
