About the Game

Odd Stories: Backyard Mountain is an exploration adventure game in which what seems to be an ordinary favor for your uncle turns into the discovery of a mystery hidden deep underground.

Your uncle has gone on a business trip, leaving you the keys to his newly built house. However, there is one problem—a huge mountain of dirt and rocks behind the house that he hasn't had time to remove yet. What initially seems like nothing more than an ordinary pile of rubble soon turns out to hide something far more mysterious. How deep will you dare to dig?

Put on your exoskeleton and begin the excavation. Mine minerals, sell them, invest the money you earn in upgrades, and gradually increase your machine's capabilities. Dig faster, move more efficiently, and reach deeper and deeper, uncovering the secrets hidden beneath the surface.

Each new layer of the mountain brings new resources and even more questions. What is really beneath your uncle's house? Why is this mountain here in the first place? The answers await those who are not afraid to dig deep enough.

Key Features

  • Dig through a huge mountain and discover its underground layers.

  • Mine a variety of minerals and sell them to earn money.

  • Purchase upgrades that increase your digging speed and your exoskeleton's movement speed.

  • Discover mysterious objects and secrets hidden deep underground.

  • Upgrade your equipment to reach places that were previously inaccessible.

The deeper you dig, the more you realize that this mountain is not just an ordinary pile of dirt.
