A strategic adventure of exploration and resource gathering through underground worlds, driven by player decisions in a nonlinear journey.

What players say

Players compare Minaurs to Lemmings but controlling a single character. The UI is widely criticized as confusing and lacking explanations, with no tutorial. Once players push past the steep learning curve, they find a surprisingly deep strategy game with mining, hazards, and a skill system. Reviews are split between those who enjoy the complexity and those frustrated by the poor onboarding.
