Drill and Delve

Surprisingly fun for how simple the gameplay loop is. Atmospheric effects are really hitting hard and game manages to feel scary even without a single monster trying to kill you. Even though at first glance, nothing is trying to kill you, what you end up dying from is your own naivety that pushed you to explore too far from the recharge stations or just getting stranded in certain spots where resources are extremely scarce. Finding a gear upgrade never felt better and more needed in a game. When your energy or oxygen starts to go critical, the panic hits hard and you go into the mad rush to get trough to the checkpoint and save yourself from asphyxiation or waiting for the same in endless darkness. I find it unique and charming, even though it feels lacking in certain areas like, cinematics story and character interactions, as you are pretty much the only survivor and the only person you communicate with is some dude on the radio. Also, the dev missed hard on not naming the game Claustrophobia.

fun game about digging and discovering a mystery.

Cozy & relaxing with a bit of story. And it's cheap.

It gets incredibly grindy and never really rewards you. It was not for me.

I liked A Game About Digging A Hole, which lead me here. This was not the same, but I enjoyed it more. Enough so that after getting the first, sad ending, I kept playing to get the secret one. The upgrades felt good, pathing through the world with all of the gravity changes was cool. Looking forward to seeing more from this team.

I loved this game! Anytime a game lets me dig I'm a huge fan, and this one was literally nothing but digging. It was a bit like Astroneer which I really liked, too. But this one had more of a cohesive linear plot which I always appreciate. I like to have a story-element to games like this, otherwise I find motivation is hard. But this one had a great, simple premise to match the gameplay, and I think it really paid off. I really enjoyed my time with this, and if you think it looks fun at all I think 9$ is worth a shot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FUAoSRtD_Q&list=PLC6dyS5uZ4TzkWa1DZyyZCj-iASRpHvtn

The only game I know where you can suffocate to death while drifting away into the nothingness of deep space. No one will come anyway
