How it feels

A gentle, unhurried mining journey with a faint sense of mystery, where you dig at your own pace and piece together a story from scattered notes.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a decent cheap time-waster for $3, others call it boring and frustrating. Complaints center on painfully slow progress, constant micro-management from fuel and repairs, and tanky monsters that grind progress to a halt. A few note achievements that require restarting the game.
