About My life as an archeologist

✦ AI summary

Click your way through an archeological treasure hunt in this roguelite where every run lets you build a unique character by collecting equipment, artifacts, and abilities from 60+ monsters across three distinct classes. With up to 10 boss fights per run and permanent progression that rewards even your failures, you'll keep coming back to optimize your loadout and finally reach the final boss.


Every run will help you go further in the archeological treasure hunt, in this clicker roguelite blending the simple mindless entertainment of the clicker with the ever-renewing fun choices of a roguelite, where every single decision can help you reach the final boss or hasten your demise.

With 60+ types of equipment and 60+ fully animated monsters to loot them from, you will be able to mold your character as you choose by improving a wide array of stats and gaining unique abilities!

Every single boss you slay, up to 10 per run, will let you choose one artefact from a pool of three. These artefacts will help specialize your character as you wish, by giving her attacks a chance to do explosive damage, allowing you to stop time, gain a ferocious turtle buddy, or a healing fairy to help you to deal just a bit more damage before you die.

Three classes to choose from every run:
  • The bulky zoologist: This heavy hitter knows the enemy's weak point and specializes in deadly poison and survivability!
  • The cunning ethnologist: This ancient technology specialist knows how to maximize her results when using long forgotten machinery and managing her own energy to do it again, and again!
  • The never-alone theologist: Why attack enemies on your own when you can call on ancient spirits to do your dirty work faster while you relax?

Finally, even dying is not the end of the world! Every monster you kill during your run advances your research, and with enough coins you can even acquire some of their powers!

Why is this so SLOW and why isnt the "hold left click" a simple toggle...

Cute little game that was made with lots of love. It's clear the developer cares about the community and the game. Worth buying even without a sale.

Very boring, even for an idle/clicker game. Inconsistent art styles are jarring and unpleasant.

The game is simple and enjoyable with some dry humor that fits the tone well. It’s definitely worth the price, but as a roguelite, it feels like it could use more content to keep players engaged after completing it a couple of times. By the second playthrough, you’ll likely have unlocked and purchased all the passive upgrades, leaving little incentive to continue. Adding infinite upgrade options, like increased click damage or efficiency, could have easily boosted replayability. Despite this, it’s a fun experience while it lasts.
