⛏ Dig

Dig anywhere you like, as much as you like. In first-person view, every swing of your pickaxe crumbles the terrain, carving out a hole that's all your own. The deeper you go, the darker it gets. Beyond a certain point, your headlamp is the only light you have.

🦴 Discover

Ores, treasure chests, and fossil bones lie buried underground. When a bone is nearby, your detector picks it up automatically and shows its direction and distance. Fully expose each bone from the rock before digging it out. Each skeleton has around 30 parts, and it won't be complete until you've found them all.

🏛 Assemble

Bring the bones you've collected back to the museum. Place a bone on the pedestal and it clicks right into place. Skull, spine, ribs, legs—bit by bit, the full skeleton takes shape.

💰 Upgrade

Sell the ores you dig up for cash. At the workbench, you can upgrade six things:

  • Dig radius

  • Max energy

  • Carrying capacity

  • Jetpack power

  • Headlamp range

  • Detector range

The deeper the strata, the richer the treasure chests—and some even hold powerful skills.

🦖 Skeletons

10 ancient creatures, including Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Spinosaurus, Brachiosaurus, and the mammoth. And one mysterious fossil, "???", that only those who have assembled all the others can unearth.

Key Features

  • Fully deformable terrain—how you dig is entirely up to you

  • Collect and restore 11 skeletons, each made of 28–35 parts

  • Darkness and rewards that change with depth, luring you ever deeper

  • A relaxing dig-and-collect loop you can enjoy at your own pace, with no time pressure
