Just Keep Digging is an open-world action-adventure mining simulator.
Play as John in Bodie, a company mining town. Meet the weekly profit quota or face termination. Use extra company coins to upgrade your gear, dig deeper for rarer resources, and uncover ancient fossils and ruined structures. Beware of dangerous cave dwellers—bring a weapon along with your pickaxe.
Mine for materials in a procedurally generated world and sell them to meet the company’s weekly profit quotas. Use extra coins to upgrade your gear and dig deeper for rarer and more valuable resources. Complete your catalog by discovering all types of resources while navigating the dangers of the underground.
After returning from a mining expedition, sell your materials at the marketplace to earn company coin. Use your earnings to buy upgrades at the store: a better pickaxe to break blocks faster, a stronger headlamp to see further, torches to light your path, a larger backpack to hold more items, better gloves to swing the pickaxe quicker, dynamite to blow up large areas, rails for faster travel in and out of the mine, and many more.
While digging for materials, you might encounter foes along the way. Be sure to bring not just a pickaxe but a weapon as well; you'll need it to fend off all the creatures that get in your way.
On your journey to find the rarest materials, you may stumble across ancient ruined structures, fossilized bones, large twisting caves, and dungeons full of valuable loot. Each discovery not only adds to your findings but also boosts the company's wealth.
