A "dress-up" "game" about finding your identity when you're a dinosaur. Not actually accurate to dinosaur reconstruction in real life.
Drag items on the left to the dinosaur, or to the "X" icon in the bottom right to discard. You can only go forward.

I started this for the July Sixth Park Dinojam last Summer, but was unable to finish it. I wanted to find a particular visual + writing style for personal projects in the future, which has carried over to games I made over the year!

I don't know if I stand with all the choices I made - having things feel unwieldy was partially intentional but mostly because I wasn't as familiar with Unity back then. I tried to make design choices that served an artistic message, but I feel like the initial message has been lost to time. Not being able to go back is one - the items you can wear are based on different reconstructions over time (with the first being the oldest)

The poem itself is more recent, but it was written after me being too conscious of several iterations I had written before to publish this. I pretend it doesn't exist, but I'd like to respect what I wanted to do with the game last year. 

I hope you enjoy it [:
