Mine. Upgrade. Automate. Descend

A terminal-based incremental mining game with ASCII graphics and hybrid idle/active gameplay.

Break the Rock. Get the Goods

In Terminal Descent, you begin with nothing but a basic drill and a stubborn rock.
Each keystroke chips away at the stone, yielding iron, rubble, and other materials hidden beneath.

The deeper you go, the more valuable the rewards — but also the tougher the stone.

• Tap keys to mine manually

• Automate extraction over time

• Descend ever deeper into the cavern

Upgrade, Automate, Repeat

Convert mined iron into gold, invest in better drills, auto-miners, and smelters, and build an unstoppable mining machine that runs even while you're away.

Every upgrade pushes you further — from iron to rare metals, thermal drills, and fully automated mining rigs.

• Upgrade your gear

• Automate repetitive tasks

• Optimize your income flow

Smelt, Refine, and Optimize

Don’t just mine — process.
Unlock smelters to refine raw materials into higher-value metals. Turn ore into currency. Turn currency into power.

Refined materials unlock new tech trees and deeper progression layers, rewarding careful planning and automation.

• Smelt ores into advanced materials

• Unlock new mechanics through refined goods

• Strategize your processing chains

Descend Deeper

Progress isn’t just numbers — it’s depth.
Each descent layer unlocks new challenges, resource types, and gameplay systems.

Spend rubble to tunnel further into the earth, unveiling secrets, boosts, and environmental hazards.

• Break through to new depths

• Discover layer-based content

• Explore the procedural underworld

Built for the Terminal

Forget flashy graphics. Terminal Descent embraces pure ASCII charm, letting your imagination and efficiency drive the experience.
Whether you're actively clicking or letting your systems run in the background, the minimalist aesthetic delivers both nostalgia and focus.

• Terminal-style interface

• ASCII graphics, carefully animated

• Works in a terminal window

Idle or Active — You Choose

Play at your pace. Want to actively mine, manage upgrades, and optimize strategy? Go for it.
Prefer to leave it running in the background while you work? The automation systems have you covered.

Terminal Descent blends the best of idle games and active incremental gameplay.

• Great for short sessions or long idle runs

• Systems evolve over time

• Satisfying exponential progression
