Fossil Quest

Fossil Quest is a simulation and management game that focuses on calm exploration and creative building rather than competition or pressure.

Created by the two-person studio Unsigned Double, Fossil Quest lets players step into the role of an aspiring paleontologist. The game was released as a playable prototype on itch.io and was last updated in December 2025, with ongoing development planned. The idea is simple but engaging: travel to different dig sites, uncover fossils, and slowly turn those discoveries into a museum that reflects your own style and choices.

Instead of rushing through objectives, Fossil Quest encourages players to take their time. You dig carefully, clean and assemble fossil pieces, and decide how each exhibit should look. As your collection grows, you can upgrade tools, customize your living space, and arrange museum rooms so visitors can explore what you’ve built. Decorating and organizing become just as important as digging, giving the game a creative balance between exploration and design.

Because the game is still in development, some features are being expanded and refined, but the core experience is already clear. It’s designed to feel relaxed and welcoming, with no combat and no penalties for playing at your own pace. This makes it easy to pick up for short sessions or longer, more focused play.

Fossil Quest stands out by combining paleontology, museum management, and cozy life-sim elements into one experience. With continued updates from Unsigned Double, it’s shaping up to be a thoughtful game for players who enjoy discovery, creativity, and building something personal over time.
