A pretty great simulator of building a dinosaur fossil museum, along with the associated tedium of actually finding the damn things. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy building displays in games or for real. Development unfortunately seems to have stopped as the devs have gone radio silent

Like others, I wish there was a mixed category. This game has great potential and could've been outstandingly immersive. However, there are few gameplay flaws that I just can't look past (spoilers):
-You can only travel the northwest US/southwest Canada. And since the game is going for realism, you can only find a limited number of dinosaurs, and I mean LIMITED. So limited that the game makes you dig up multiple skeletons of the same species. I had to do the longiceps twice, which each have over 100 tiny circular shield bones on their back. There's also only 3 maps, 1 of which is the beginner map. It gets boring, this type of game needs variety.
-The digsites are very limited. I understand there needs to be a way for you to find the fossils, but you're just given a tiny area to dig and every fossil is just right there. There's not much satisfaction from that.
-The tree and stone clearing aspect of the game are just useless. but I guess add immersion.
-The skill tree for improving skills is almost useless. You max out very quick and everything but the digging and cleaning skills are pretty useless. You also CAN'T max out the employee tree, which is annoying.
The only upside is the beginning when it tells the story of the protagonist and his path to paleontology. And the museum designing can be fun as well.
