About the Game

Normally, you’d do anything to see the outside of your cell. But after staring into the black abyss that is your assignment, you’re having second thoughts.

Just do whatever the boss says, and you’ll earn your freedom. They wouldn’t put you in any real danger, right?

It’s hard labor, but at least you’re not alone. Mine a cave for everything it’s worth, blow it to smithereens, then do it all again. It would be simple if only you had a map.

No wonder there’s nobody left in Lodebear’s Hollow - the old crew probably skipped town.

Your minecart is your lifeline. Lay tracks as you descend to haul your lode to safety. When your issued equipment stops cutting it, speak to Topaz Tuck about acquiring some better kit.

You thought you saw another person, but then they were gone. The lack of oxygen must be getting to you. That would explain the footsteps, the whispering, and the shapes moving beyond the lamplight.

Still, you can’t shake the feeling that something’s out to get you.

  • Online co-op for up to 3 prisoners

  • Proximity voice chat that fades into the darkness

  • Procedurally generated caves that grow deadlier as you descend

  • Mine, build tracks, and haul valuable ore to safety

  • Monsters, traps, and paranormal disturbances

  • Tools, explosives, and questionable upgrades

  • Dead teammates can spectate from the afterlife and pray for resurrection

  • If the whole crew dies, the expedition is over
