However, one day the facility is attacked by Russian Spetznaz, and in the chaos the dinosaurs break loose and begin to run amok. You take the role of a newly hired game warden who shows up on their first day of the job just as the whole place goes to hell.A sequel, Fossilfuel 2, was released on February 19th, 2024.

comment
Genre Shift: The "Raptor Isolation" DLC is more of a straight horror experience as you do not have access to any weapons ( until the Final Boss fight) and must evade and hide from your enemies, most notably a Utahraptor that roams the section of the facility you're trying to escape.

Heavily Armored Mook: The invading soldiers include several Heavies wearing "Juggernaut"-style EOD armor suits, allowing them to soak a few dozen rounds of assault rifle fire before dropping. They also tend to wield heavy weapons such as flamethrowers or grenade launchers.

Revolvers Are Just Better
 Fossilfuel (Video Game) / int_2a195285
comment
Revolvers Are Just Better: You acquire a .44 magnum revolver about a quarter of the way through the game. Notably, it is not the superweapon it is in other Survival Horror games, dealing only moderately more damage than basic 9mm weapons, making it poor against bosses. It does, however, deal just enough damage to kill most basic enemies in one hit, who otherwise require several 9mm rounds to kill, so it is fairly useful for dealing with regular enemies. Overall it more closely resembles the Half-Life magnum rather than the Resident Evil one.

New Work, Recycled Graphics: The game does incorporate paid assets, due to being made by only one developer. Notably, the Final Boss uses the same model and possibly the same moveset as the final boss of Severed Steel.

 Fossilfuel (Video Game) / int_8d25533e
comment
Your Size May Vary: The first time you see the T-Rex, it's attacking the Spetznaz and is easily Kaiju sized. When you face it as the final boss in the "bad" ending, it's a much more realistic size.

Mighty Glacier: Most bosses can take and give a beating, but move slower than you do, the main threat being if you accidentally back up into a dead end while fighting them.

Shotguns Are Just Better: You get a shotgun very early in the game; it deals high damage and ammo for it is reasonably common, making it an all-around very useful weapon.

comment
Giant Spider: Pig-sized Meganeura appear fairly regularly as enemies (appparently they're giant spiders instead of giant dragonflies because SRI used spider DNA to fill in gaps in their genetic code). A SUV-sized Queen version is one of the game's bosses.

comment
Half-Human Hybrid: One of the early bosses is a giant lizardman-like ogre called "Homo Erectus Rex". A note you can find in a hidden area early on mentions that SRI director Elon Moosk is secretly creating human-dinosaur hybrids For the Evulz. In the "Raptor Isolation" DLC you'll witness even more dinosaur-human hybrids who resemble emaciated ghouls.

Mole in Charge: The Big Bad turns out to be SRI's director Elon Moosk, who set the whole incident in motion because the government discovered he was making dinosaur-human hybrids and were going to shut him down, causing him to decide to defect to the Russians, using the dinosaur outbreak as cover so he could escape with all the research data.

comment
Inventory Management Puzzle: The game has a Resident Evil 7-style inventory system. You start out with only 8 inventory slots, and have to figure out what weapons, ammo, and healing items you want to take with you and which you discard or leave behind. You can also find or purchase backpacks which increase your inventory space.

Take That!: The Big Bad is one at Elon Musk, seeing how he has practically the same name as the latter and is portrayed as a Corrupt Corporate Executive who is in the pocket of the Russiansnote Note that this was before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which Musk has been criticized of supporting due to his unwillingness to allow Ukraine to use Starlink terminals in their defense.

20 Minutes into the Future
 Fossilfuel (Video Game) / int_f32d85ab
comment
20 Minutes into the Future: The game takes place several years after 2025, but depicts a Ghost in the Shell-level Cyberpunk future with worker droids, spider bots, and gauss weapons (which behave like normal guns except they deal a bit more damage). This is most obvious once you almost reach the surface, at which point you briefly speak with a character with extensive cybernetics, and your own character even remarks they've had cyber-eye surgery. Prior to that the environments resemble modern day office and warehouse areas.
