A solitary, tense mining experience where you chip away at rocks in a dark, abandoned mine, upgrading gear while facing unseen threats below.

What players say

Players say it is a short, fun mining game inspired by A Game About Digging A Hole but with a pickaxe instead of a shovel. Players are split on bugs at launch, with several reporting broken achievements, minecart issues, and missing keys that force a restart.
