Very cool idea! The UI/UX in the fossil digging mini-game is excellent, and the enemies are gorgeous. I was unsure if I was missing something or just very unlucky, but I struggled massively to find legs for my creatures. It was always the thing I needed for new party members. Additionally, the UI/UX for assembling the creatures is pretty confusing and unhelpful. I wish there was one more layer in the fossil digging: maybe your some of your party members could have a skill that's used during it.
I also never found out what the gold is used for?
These are all minor complaints in the face of a unique idea and an excellent submission!
