Evaluation
My Life as an Archeologist launched on January 10, 2022 and received a feature patch on January 19, 2022 that added achievements and bug fixes. That appears to be the extent of post-launch development activity for this specific game — the 17 news posts scanned include only 13 bug fixes and no further major content updates for the title itself after that early patch.
The developer, Delirium Tremens Games, has since moved on to releasing new games: MatchR: Now Hiring (May 2023), My Life as an Alchemist (July 2024), and most recently Brick by Brick (February 2026). These announcements were posted to the My Life as an Archeologist news feed as cross-promotions, suggesting the developer considers this game complete and is actively working on new projects rather than returning to expand it.
There are no unreleased DLC listings, no roadmap commitments, no announced future content, and no developer statements suggesting additional updates are planned for this game. It appears to have launched as a finished product and received only a brief period of post-launch polish before the developer moved forward.
Evidence
Patch 1.1.0 added achievements and fixed several bugs shortly after launch — the last substantive update to the game itself
Developer announces a brand new game, Brick by Brick, launching February 20, 2026 — a separate project unrelated to My Life as an Archeologist

About this game
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!
