Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is planned to receive ongoing updates as development progresses, including new systems, expanded content, and improvements based on community feedback. Community involvement in the development process is considered very important, helping shape the game into the best possible experience for players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Town Diggers will be in early access for approximately 18 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“During the game’s development, we plan to include a significant expansion of the map, several more items to discover and trade, additional secret auction hosts and hidden auction locations, as well as more ways to grow your business and criminal influence across both towns.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In the current Early Access build, players can dig for treasures and collect over 50 different items to sell in their shop. Customers may choose to buy items or offer their own goods for trade. Illegal items can be transported to secret auctions and sold for high value.

You can hire a cashier to handle sales in your shop, and employ a worker who travels to excavation sites, digs, and brings items back to your storage. In the open world, players can approach NPCs and offer items directly for purchase. Some items have craftable counterfeit versions, which can be sold at full price if customers fail to detect the forgery.

As your finances grow, you can rise through the criminal ranks—recruiting followers and bodyguards to become a mafia leader. By increasing your influence in rival mafia territories and dominating all regions, you establish yourself as the ultimate shopkeeper-mafia overlord.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“There are currently no plans to change the price of Town Diggers after Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We value community feedback greatly. Players can share their suggestions and opinions via the Steam Community Hub, forums, our Discord server, and our Twitter account. All feedback will be reviewed carefully and may influence the future development of the game.”

About This Game

Relax while digging in Town Diggers — and loot valuable items while you’re at it.
Place the items you find on the shelves of your shop and sell them by bargaining with your customers.

Tired of digging yourself? Hire worker NPCs to excavate for you and deliver the found items directly to your shop’s storage, while you focus on running and growing your business.

Found illegal goods? Instead of selling them to the municipality for a miserable price, buy and sell them through underground auctions.

Your shop starts small, with just a few shelves and a sales desk. As you upgrade, unlock a second floor that offers a real working environment. Repair items, create fake goods, research market prices, and optimize your profits.

Fed up with paying protection money to the neighboring town’s mafia? Hire local tough guys to protect your shop — and if your numbers grow large enough, maybe you become the mafia. Win mafia wars and eliminate your rivals.

Ways to Acquire Items

1. Digging
Pay the municipality to rent a digging area for a limited time. Excavate the entire area before time runs out to collect all items. If digging gets boring, pay extra to hire workers.

2. Customer Sales
Customers don’t just come to buy from you — some want to sell their own items. Negotiate well and buy valuable goods for cheap.

3. Creating Fake Items
Purchase raw materials from other shops in town and produce fake items using the counterfeit machine. Be careful — if customers realize an item is fake, your shop’s reputation will drop.

4. Mystery Boxes
Buy mystery boxes from town shops. You never know — one might contain a very valuable item.

Ways to Make Money

  • Sell items to customers by negotiating prices.

  • Trade illegal goods through secret auctions.

  • Offer deals to people directly on the streets.

Shop Expansions

Purchase shop expansions to unlock more space, attract more customers, gain additional work areas, and increase your worker capacity.

Customer Traits

Each customer has unique traits that affect how they negotiate with you:

  • Greed

  • Knowledge

  • Patience
