About this game
Description
Supplied by the Steam store
The 3D rebuild is live on Windows and Linux
Steam delivers the Unity rebuild to Fossil Bound owners on Windows and Linux. The original 2D edition is available on macOS while the new Mac build goes through signing and testing. The Unity rebuild starts a new game save. Earned Steam achievements stay on your account.
Something ancient is just below the surface
Start in Amberwick with a pickaxe, chisel and brush. Break away sandstone, free the fossil from its supports, and brush away sediment before lifting it into a padded case. Bring each find home to help assemble 15 prehistoric exhibits, including Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus and Mosasaurus.
Take the long way to the dig
Pedal through the pines, ride a dirt bike to Desert Flats, drive a truck into the caverns, sail along the coast or fly into the tundra. Follow the trail markers, stop to survey landmarks, collect supplies and chase your best time. Secure your packed fossil for the trip home.
Give your finds a home
Grow the museum from its first display into a four-floor landmark. Arrange mounts, choose lighting, and see how visitors react. Read what they wrote in the guestbook, then put your share of admissions and donations toward another expedition.
Make Amberwick yours
Meet the residents, take requests, trade spare fossils, and upgrade your tools, vehicles and buildings. Open the museum to the town, then keep building your collection.
Seven dig regions and 122 collectible fossil groups
Fifteen prehistoric exhibits across three galleries and an upper conservatory
Hands-on excavation, specimen packing and playable round trips
Museum visitors with reactions, donations and a signed guestbook
Single-player 3D exploration with rebindable gamepad and keyboard-and-mouse controls

Fossil Bound 1.0.2 — Clearer digging, research and milestones
This update makes the everyday excavation and town loop easier to follow, with clearer progress tracking and fewer repeated clicks. Excavation actions now sit at the bottom of the screen, with objective details beneath the top-left stats so the two panels stay separate. Discovery popups show one shortcut on the relevant action button, using your current key binding or controller prompt. Researching bones preserves your place in the list. When the last available research specimen is used, focus stays in the research section. Marina's bench links directly to the Field Journal instead of displaying a long duplicate history. Journal naming is consistent across the menus. The Field Journal has a Milestones section with remaining and completed goals. The 32 overall milestones are clearly separated from each species' research level. The five-entry research milestone now describes what it act...
Read full update on Steam ↗Fossil Bound 1.0.1 — Smoother Excavation Controls
Version 1.0.1 is live! This patch makes excavation more comfortable and fixes navigation issues reported by the community. Hold to excavate: Hold the left mouse button to repeat pickaxe and chisel actions on the fossil bed and in close inspection. Release to stop repeating. Stay in control: Repeated strikes stop when you leave the active controls, open a menu, change stage, or hit a tool warning. A new stage or tool warning requires a fresh press. Go straight to Town: A Town button is now available when you finish an excavation. Clearer Map and Pause screens: Completed-excavation controls now hide while either screen is open, and closing them returns you to the correct excavation state. More readable feedback: Important tool and contact warnings stay visible so you have time to react. Thanks to Lilly and everyone sharing feedback. Your reports help make Fossil Bound better. If anythin...
Read full update on Steam ↗Fossil Bound's Excavation & Museum Update Is Here
A glimpse of bone in the rock. The sweep that reveals its shape. The moment it joins a skeleton in your museum. This update rebuilds the journey between those moments. The Excavation & Museum Update is now available for Fossil Bound. Here's what's waiting on your next expedition. Get your hands into the discovery Choose an approach to each deposit, follow connected seams with broad strikes, and use the fine chisel to free the joins around your find. Brush directly across the specimen and watch the dust clear from the exact piece you're recovering. Continuous strokes follow your movement, and upgraded air tools add useful reach. Roots, water, quartz joints, ice and volcanic rock bring different preparation cues across the seven excavation regions. Lift your find into the discovery tray, inspect its condition and decide whether to store it or take it straight to the museum. Use optional...
Read full update on Steam ↗Major Update: Excavation, Museum & Progression Rework

Read full update on Steam ↗Fossil Bound’s Biggest Update Yet
The biggest Fossil Bound update yet is live Today’s update rebuilds the heart of Fossil Bound: follow a clear lead through town, review your expedition, complete a full pickaxe–chisel–brush excavation, protect your first museum specimen, install it piece by piece, collect daily revenue, and purchase your first meaningful upgrade. A clearer, more satisfying excavation loop Fixed the excavation dead-end that could stop mining after revealing the fragile-fossil marker. Pickaxe and chisel targeting now finds the nearest reachable valid cell. Fragile amber warnings appear only when they matter during chiselling. A subtle ivory target and proximity feedback make the next valid action clear. Brush work now finishes through five clean fossil glints without oversized or stuck interaction tiles. Added a compact three-stage excavation progress bar. The teaching dig is short and focused; later si...
