12 itemsAbout the Game
Coal Duty is a 1–5 player co-op extraction horror-comedy. Under a frozen sky and an iron-fisted regime, descend into creature-infested mines, meet your state coal quota, and quietly plan your way out.
Mine & Meet the Quota
You are sent into the depths to mine coal and extract valuable resources. Miss the quota, and the consequences follow you back.
No Loitering
Of course, you may enjoy your free time after hard work. Just remember who provides it.
About Creatures
The mines are home to dozens of distinct creatures. Some are blind. Some are fast. Some look like coal until they aren't. Proceed accordingly.
There Are Ways Out
Sneak through to forbidden zones and build your escape plan between your shifts. Some miners have reportedly escaped. The state does not confirm this.
Key Features
