About the Game

The next signal could change everything.

The Nugget is a first-person gold-prospecting simulation set in the Australian outback. Pack your tools, plan your supplies and explore promising ground. Your finds fund better equipment and your next expedition.

Learn the signal

Sweep the ground with different detectors and settings. Narrow down a signal, dig with your tools and recover the target. Not every signal means gold: decide which patch deserves more work.

Work the dirt

Collect promising material and wash out the gold. Set up processing equipment and connect the water and power it needs. More capacity only helps when you can supply your operation.

Build a working camp

Build your camp freely with foundations, walls, doors, roofs and fences. Set up a place to sleep, light a fire, cook food and connect power sources to your machines. Keep food, water and fuel ready for your next trip.

Turn finds into a future

Sell gold, cover running costs and invest in better tools. Carefully search a patch for individual nuggets or prepare a longer expedition. Account for the weather and return with knowledge as well as gold.

Single-player. This game is in development.
