A relaxed, charming city-builder with a light sense of urgency as you calmly manage resources and explore mines with hand-drawn steampunk flair.

What players say
Players enjoy the mining and tower defense elements but find the city building shallow and repetitive across maps. Many complete the story in 7 to 15 hours and say one map is enough. Some report a vicious cycle where falling happiness drains income, making it hard to recover.
