This is a very pleasant game. Addictive! Something I'll return to over and over as I do everything available. I want to keep looking and improving my exhibits. I liked upgrading my tools (the first time I dug up a bone I annihilated it but soon learned how to be more careful!) I really enjoyed assembling and seeing my museum grow. It was satisfying to see the dino skeletons develop and then, later, to improve as I found better specimens. I liked varying it up from just cracking off stone and mud with having to assemble shards of shale like a puzzle.
A couple of things that I found uncomfortable was that it doesn't let me use the arrow keys instead of WASD and so my moving around while clicking on things, especially using the detector was awkward. I got stuck when reassembling something as it wouldn't pick up a small shard no matter what I did. The word 'scapular' instead of scapula appeared early in the game on the anky but seemed to right itself later. Perhaps just a missed typo. The people coming into the museum were creepy. All the same and all rushing out the door in a line. They seemed to enjoy the exhibits, though.
Despite those minor things, it was really compelling. It's a novel and interesting game to play as well as quite relaxing and diverting and I'll look forward to seeing it in its full glory. Thanks for sharing it.
