About This Game

Dignaut is a minimalist sci-fi mining simulator about exploring a mysterious alien planet with a buried ancient civilization.

In the remote future, you are sent as a dignaut. Your mission begins with basic excavation: carve through layers of terrain, watch voxel structures break apart, gather resources, and upgrade your equipment. But every improvement you make changes how you dig — from material efficiency to cutting angles, from battery usage to tool interactions.

As you excavate, it becomes clear that something underground was made by someone. Explore the ruins of a dwarf-like alien civilization. Navigate chambers with impossible architecture. The more you reveal, the less you understand.

Progression isn't about simply going deeper. It's about digging better: burning through harder materials, optimizing routes, managing energy, and unlocking equipment that reshapes your entire excavation strategy.

Traverse multiple atmospheric biomes, each with its own geology, materials, and alien structures. Discover relics from a vanished civilization.

Key Features:

⛏️ Satisfying voxel excavation with evolving, efficiency-focused sci-fi tools

💎 Collect minerals and upgrade equipment to change how you excavate, not just how far

🏛️ Explore multiple biomes and uncover alien spaces that defy explanation the more you reveal

🌌 Experience meditative excavation broken by silent, impossible ruins

🔄 Progress through a system where each upgrade opens new excavation styles and deeper discoveries
