Awesome game. I would have played 100 more hours of this if there were more unlocks - it was so fun to solve puzzles and get fossils!

fossil-based deductive puzzler. buy lootboxes, organize first by color for clarity (represents their age), then into a family tree, rinse and repeat. oldest goes on the bottom or left and each specimen has a single trait change between generations. e.g. one child might be bigger than the parent, another smaller. there's a handbook with reminders of the basics and hints if you need them . only randomly generated puzzles are available. always a bummer, endless sameness, but leaving a puzzle saves progress . once solved, a single item from the family can be added to your collection. the more fossils you have, the more money for the next puzzle, can be spent on necessary workspace, tools and cosmetic crap. you can mess around with objects in the house too, close the window, etc. fossils can also be sold for a quick money injection and you'll get requests for photos of random stuff. an 'instant refresh for cash' option would've been necessary to avoid waiting 10 fucking minutes to replace a single task with another. instant and almost silent text display, good enough. the game is 99% mousable (can't take pictures, no button to click, only for scrapbooks) with a few non-rebindable hotkeys that can only be checked after starting a new game. space takes a pic, z zooms out, arrows change workspace if there's more than one. items can only be dragged, no click to pick up, click to place, and only click-click works to set up connections. right click to zoom out and double-click to open boxes would've been necessary , less mouse movement to click on buttons on the side. the computer turning off after not using it for a short time is annoying as fuck as well, just like accidentally breaking already made and confirmed full connections with a misclick. it's done, lock it in. settings, available anytime, are separate volumes, windowed mode, resolutions (only low/medium/high, not how it should be), a particle effects toggle and colorblind mode, which can be handy regardless, as some 'colorful' combinations are tricky to place. and while you can change the character's name anytime, it's not possible to enter a custom one, just keep rerolling randoms, even though shells and stuff can be given any name and you can add any text to the scrapbooks. control issues and my dislike of random-only puzzles aside, it's okay for a couple hours if bought on sale . the dev has been aware of all the shortcomings for years but never did anything, so the 2.50 I paid is a lot more reasonable than the $10 full price. you'll do about 40-50 puzzles to finish the 'story', but they're really samey and unsatisfying, like most random puzzles , so even this relatively small amount felt a bit much. and if you want to unlock everything, it's gonna be a hell of a grind, what with rng not giving fossil traits necessary to progress . gotta keep opening crates until something useful pops up but can't have more than one of the same crate on you, can't discard a useless puzzle either . there's a fossil generator and a combining machine but it's still just more rng and money down the drain. or you can use other people's fossil codes, but unsurprisingly there's no huge playerbase behind the game.

Very cute & cosy fossil collecting game, you get to organise them & decorate your room. No timescales or rushing, just take your time & collect how you want to. I feel like navigating through the menus could be a bit easier, feels a little bit excessive with how many clicks you have to do to get through things, but I think there are shortcuts/keys for a bunch of things that I just didn't look into. I think i'd like things like the missions to be on an overlay rather than having to check back each time.

Fossil Corner is a surprisingly addictive puzzle game with a rather unique concept. The premise is simple: you receive boxes of fossils and have to piece together their evolutionary relationships, their “family tree”. As a reward, you keep one fossil to display in your collection - or to sell, or to give away. The loop is simple but effective: solve puzzles, receive emails with storyline quests, unlock furniture for your growing collection, and complete challenges (find 4 red fossils, find 3 spiral fossils, etc.) It’s a chill yet engaging experience that kept me hooked way longer than I expected! You should definitely check it out, let out your inner archeologist and start hoarding some shells.

Absolutely worth the $3 I spent. A semi-easy puzzle game about sorting fossils by color and by incremental changes to the fossil structure. More changes get added as you play (different patterns, aperture shape, eye stalks, special shiny colors, etc.), making for a wide variety of beautiful fossils to collect and display. The game also throws a few curve-balls at you in the form of missing links -- fossils can be grayed out, or their shape can be hidden, or both -- leaving you to figure out how it fits into the overall structure of the puzzle. After you sort a box of fossils, you get to choose one to keep. You can also cross-breed your fossils in hopes of creating a rarer one to get some of the trickier achievements. I can see myself playing this even after I've unlocked everything (which shouldn't take too much more time -- I've played for 6 hours to give you an idea of the length) just because of how relaxing it is, and because the puzzles are randomly generated. Highly recommended to fans of casual puzzle games and those who like collecting rare shinies.
