About the Game

How deep would you dare to descend on planets that change without your involvement?

Orebiters is an exploration-driven mining adventure set in unstable worlds where the laws of physics begin to break down.

As an independent miner operating on the fringes of powerful galactic corporations, you take on your own contracts, gather valuable resources, upgrade your machine, and build a crew that lets you reach places others wouldn't dare to go.

The world keeps moving even when you're not around: creatures migrate, fluids reshape underground tunnels, and your decisions have lasting consequences. The deeper you venture, the more alien the world beneath the surface becomes. How far will you dig?

Key Features

  • Dive into a story-driven adventure where every expedition shapes your legend

  • Explore procedurally generated undergrounds full of hazards and hidden resources

  • Upgrade and customize your mining machines to survive deeper, more dangerous areas

  • Avoid hostile creatures and adapt to worlds that keep living and evolving even when you’re not around

  • Earn money, experience, and reputation to unlock new upgrades, items, and abilities
