About the Game

Low wage. Exhaustion. Expensive fish and chips. Welcome to the United Kingdom.

DIGGERGUN is an oppressive life sim platformer about workers, minimum pay and the environment. You’re trapped on a blustery island, forced to work at Cornwall Mining Corp where it’s shadier than the game’s monochrome palette.

To escape, you need to earn £3000 from digging precious lithium. To survive, you need to manage your time, energy and money during the rigid day-and-night cycle.

Will you make ends meet while digging for freedom or find another way out and bring down the whole bloomin’ system?

Features:

  • An atmospheric world with fleshed-out characters; everyone you meet has their own distinct personality and storyline.

  • Multiple endings: who you interact with (or don’t) will change the outcome of your story.

  • Unique energy system where your actions truly matter as the game tracks your gameplay and punishes/rewards you for your choices.

  • Life sim where wages, food, rent, and much more are based on the current cost-of-living in the United Kingdom. There's even a tax system calculated to real-world rates!

  • Diverse range of randomly generated mines and intricately hand-designed levels to ensure you’re always kept on your toes.
