About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

SYNOPSIS

Last night's earthquake left the museum in ruins. Display cases shattered, marble plinths cracked in half, centuries of history scattered across the exhibit halls. As the newly appointed museologist, you have one week before the board decides whether the museum reopens or closes its doors for good. Somewhere under all that rubble is a swordsmith's blade, a pharaoh's death mask, the skull of a creature that hasn't walked the earth in sixty million years. Find them. Rebuild them. Put the museum back together, one fragment at a time.

GAMEPLAY: MUSEUM RESTORATION SIMULATOR

This is a puzzle-driven restoration simulator set inside a museum torn apart overnight.

  • Fragment Matching: Swords, shields, fossilized dinosaur bones, ceremonial masks, ancient coins, and full statues every exhibit has been reduced to a pile of loose pieces. Study each fragment's shape and follow its glowing outline to figure out exactly where, and how, it fits.
  • Massive Collection: 3,513 fragments make up 543 objects, and the halls look hopeless on day one. But finish an exhibit and you'll unlock new restoration techniques that make the next room go noticeably faster.

KEY FEATURES

  • A Museum Reborn: There's a particular kind of satisfaction in watching a wrecked hall turn back into something you'd actually pay to see cracked glass replaced, pedestals righted, the rubble on the floor slowly disappearing.
  • Plan Your Own Workflow: Which hall do you tackle first? Which abilities do you stack together? The order you choose changes how fast the chaos clears, and finding your own rhythm is half the fun.
  • A Living Building: Empty halls echo. Restored ones don't. As you work, the museum's ambient sound shifts around you a small, constant reminder of how far you've come.
  • The Board Is Watching: Every hall you finish is scored on accuracy, not just speed. Sloppy placements drag your rating down, and your rating decides whether the museum reopens at all.

RESTORATION TECH

Clear halls to unlock museum-issued gadgets that speed up your work:

  • Delivery Drones: Hold a fragment, and send your micro-drones into the rubble. They will find and bring all remaining pieces of that object directly to your hands.
  • AR Visor: Activate your smart glasses to scan the room. The visor highlights scattered pieces belonging to the same object, making them easy to spot in the mess.
  • Auto-Snap Tool: Instantly lock the fragment you are holding into its correct position. No fumbling or manual alignment required.
