About This Game

By order of the king, you’ve been exiled to a distant island to serve your sentence.

Your task is to restore an old abandoned mine and find out what lies hidden in its depths.

Armed with nothing but a simple pickaxe, you start small: gathering resources, clearing rubble, and slowly bringing the mine back to life.

Process ore, smelt metals, repair equipment, upgrade your tools, and work your way deeper underground.

But the deeper you go, the more dangerous things become.

Collapsed tunnels, poisonous gas, flooded passages, and strange creatures lurking below. It seems the former miners left behind more than old tracks and machinery.

And somewhere deep beneath the mountain, you might find your only chance at freedom.

Start Small

Just you, a simple pickaxe, and an abandoned mine.

Break rocks, mine ore, gather resources, and haul everything back to the surface.

Process raw materials, smelt metals, and make better tools to help you reach new areas.

Clear rubble, repair old tracks and equipment, reinforce unstable tunnels, and restore abandoned sections of the mine.

Use minecarts to transport your haul, build up your little operation, and hire workers to help keep production running.

Every upgrade opens the way to new passages, ore deposits, and deeper levels of the mine.

But watch your step. Over the years, goblins and other creatures have made these tunnels their home.

Explore forgotten passages, uncover traces of the miners who came before you, and piece together the mystery buried beneath the mountain.
