About the Game

Explore, Mine, Automate - the world is yours!

Orebound is a voxel, factory, automation game set in a first person open-world. Explore the vast mountain ranges before you, or journey deep into the Earth to find the ultimate Dwarven prize – the Emberstone. Lost in the depths of time, the King has tasked you to scour the mountains to find its location. Using your Dwarven prowess and knowledge to mine, craft and automate through anything standing in your way. Build up or dig down! How far will you go?


Dig Deep and Discover

Journey down into the Earth to discover precious metals and resources to create your very own Dwarven mining fortress! Use your newly found building blocks to upgrade your tools and craft runes to enhance your efficiency. The deeper you go, the rarer the materials but who knows what else you’ll find in the depths of the planet.


Automate Your Way
