About the Game

Drill deeper. Get richer. Survive the depths. Come out the other side.

THE LONG WAY DOWN is a first person digging game where you carve your own tunnels in real time. You mine valuable minerals, sell what you extract, and upgrade. You drill for oil, refine it into fuel, and keep pushing deeper. Demons live below and they will try to stop you. Along the way you uncover rare one off finds like fossils and buried treasures.

  • Unique items: find rare one off collectibles such as fossils, treasures, and other unusual artifacts hidden in the ground.

  • Upgrade your rig: improve drilling, speed, efficiency and others so you can reach deeper.

  • Fight to keep going: the deeper you go, the more demons and other threats you will face.
