About the Game
Museum messed up! Something happened here. Crates are tipped over, and skulls, ribs, and vertebrae lie scattered across the halls. You're the only one around to put nine skeletons back together. Well, you and a cat.
TURN CHAOS INTO ORDER
Collect - Pick up bones from the floor, the stairs, and wherever the crates spilled them
Identify - Every bone starts as “Unknown”. Figure out which skeleton it belongs to
Assemble - Find the right slot and click it into place, one bone at a time
MAKE A MESS, LEARN THE BONES
Open crates, tip them over, or just throw them, and start rebuilding. Each dinosaur's bones have their own look, color, texture, wear, and the more you place them, the faster you recognize them. No skill trees, no upgrades. Just you getting better.
WAKE UP THE MUSEUM
As skeletons come together, you'll trigger special events around the museum. Each one leaves something behind: little rewards, toys, and surprises that make the place feel like yours.

Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
- Anatomical mode: the tail no longer holds up the skeleton. The spine requirement now covers the neck, back and pelvis only. Once those are in place, the rest of the skeleton unlocks even if the tiny tail-tip vertebrae are still missing. The tail can be finished whenever you like, as before.
- Anatomical mode: monocles from the start, with their own guidance. The lenses are open from 0%. Until a species reaches 50% they frame only its vertebrae; after 50% every loose bone. The Tab catalogue reads "Spine monocle" / "Full monocle", you get a "Spine monocles are ready" card and a blue light path to the workshop when a species' supports are finished, and a "Full monocle unlocked" card at 50%. Turning the mode off while wearing the lens of a species below 50% returns it to its stand; an earned lens stays with you. Switching the mode on or off mid-game updates the catalogue and the stands right away, and the mode description in Settings now mentions the lenses. Free order mode is unchanged.
- The last two coins show through walls. When two or fewer coins are missing from the album, the remaining coins appear as a silhouette through walls and from a distance, wherever they are. No monocle needed; it works with your hands full.
- Coins stuck inside crates or furniture can be pulled out. A coin you dropped into a crate or behind a cabinet shows a silhouette up close, and one click pulls it out. Coins you haven't picked up yet stay hidden.
- Dropping a big bone at your feet no longer launches you into the air. The bone doesn't collide with you until it has separated, and turns solid once you step off it.
- Lost snow globe and model parts are visible again. The silhouette of an item stuck inside furniture was nearly invisible before; it now has its own clear outline.
- The secret hammer lands on open floor. It no longer drops on top of or inside a crate next to the Brachiosaurus. If it does end up inside one, it shows a silhouette and a left click picks it up.
Saves are unchanged.
• Progress made while the game was not connected to Steam is no longer left behind. The next time you are connected, that save is moved into your Steam save. If you have both, Continue asks which one to keep. Nothing is deleted.
• Achievements you earned while the game was not connected to Steam are now granted when you continue your save.
• Engine update that fixes a random crash, most often seen when entering the museum.
- The game could freeze or stop responding for several seconds right after launch (introduced in 5.12.0).
- Fixed: a "Hold E: pet" prompt appeared on the closed cat flap while the cat was still outside.
- Fixed: the cat could end up outside the front door after getting stuck.
• Settings › Camera: field of view slider (60–120) and a toggle for the sprint FOV boost.
• Fixed a black screen at startup on graphics cards or drivers without compute shader support.
