Great short game

<3

Really enjoyed this game! It's a fun mix between base building, crafting, digging and exploration. You have a lot of freedom to make the base of your dreams and progression speed feels alright. Exploring the different caves is fun, putting little pieces of story together and finding new upgrades are worth it. The only real downside is the tiny inventory. It gets better later on with multiple upgrades, but it still makes the whole mineral hunting and backtracking to the base a little tedious. Achievements won't pop until the very end of the game, you even have three endings!

Stumbling across this game was a pleasant surprise. It offers a clever mix of navigating from a 2D top-down perspective and then seamlessly docking into nearby caves, which opens into beautifully designed underground environments. The transition between exploration and cave diving is well-executed, showing off some impressive level design that sets the atmosphere perfectly. The base construction system is enjoyable, giving players a solid structure for progression and management, while not feeling overly complicated. There is a small grind present, but it never becomes too tedious and serves to keep you invested in the upgrades and advancements. While the initial playthrough is super fun and engaging, the experience does lack some replayability. Once you've seen most of what the game has to offer, there isn't much to incentivize multiple runs. Still, the time spent playing is rewarding and memorable. Overall, if you enjoy exploration, a bit of base building, and discovering atmospheric caves, this title is definitely worth trying out.

Awesome game, replayable / endless relaxing gameplay. Interesting story to uncover about what happened.

Awesome game. 100% recommend giving it a try.

It's fun to play through, and has a nice base construction system. Lacks a bit in replayability at the worst. This has my thumbs up.

I recommend this game as its fairly interesting if you enjoy base management. But after a while it starts to feel grindy and theres not too much of a story. I realize this was created by a solo dev so please keep that in mind. I enjoyed what time i had with the game but toward the end i just decided to watch a youtube video to see the ending because i was getting motion sick from the narrow FOV in the first person parts where you explore. I think if it hadnt been for that i mightve finished it. But if you get motion sickness you know thats not a great feeling. Im very lucky in i only get it sometimes but it still sucks to not be able to finish a game. Game itself, worth a play and you decide if you like it. I will say this, the first hour or so will be a little confusing because theres no tutorial at all that i could find and you just have to stumble through and figure out whats what. I still got a drill upgrade that i had ZERO idea what it did. Oh well onto the next game lol. Enjoy

It's somewhat rather simplistic, but has an addicting gameplay loop. (Mine resources with drill; come back to base to refine it; upgrade drills/ machinery/ power; repeat to go deeper.) I appreciate how later on there are mechanics to make mass collecting easier, with drones. And how there is a map table to find out what you missed in caves. Base building and decoration is rather simplistic and limited, so don't expect to go super crazy. (You can only add onto the base, not move it nor make a new one.) Story logs were rather simple, but better than nothing. 100% completion in 10hours, so I'd recommend getting it on sale. Nothing spectacular about the game, but a decent time waster.
