Description

Fossil Diggers VR is a non-violent puzzle adventure game with globetrotting, puzzle solving, fossil digging, and dinosaur building—where dinosaurs come alive before your eyes. Think Indiana Jones meets Palaeontology.

In a world recovering from a devastating war, you are a returning soldier searching for employment. Giant fossils are being unearthed across the globe and you’re recruited by renegade scientist Dr Peggy Noon to help prove her outlandish theory that “dinosaurs” once existed.

Travel to uncharted locations, dig up fossils and piece them together to prove that dinosaurs once roamed the earth. Your search takes a dangerous turn when you uncover the mysterious Particle 58, and when Peggy goes missing it is up to you to reveal the truth behind the lie: that these magnificent creatures hold the key to understanding our past—and a warning for our future.

About The Orphanage

After the global financial crisis in 2008, Alex Stevens and Sean Gobey found themselves graduating to a barren Australian games industry. Thus they co-founded The Orphanage, a place local game developers can call home.
