About the game

Cast the mining claw, tune its pull, and haul ore before the chain snaps. Choose routes, upgrade your rig, and build a camp across eight regions.

Original Steam description
Deep below Rustwater, the richest finds rarely come up easy.

Cast a swinging claw into each claim, tune your reel force, and haul treasure and oddities back to the surface. Reach the quota before the bell, or leave finds behind and descend to the next pocket.

Every catch is a choice

Heavy loads strain the chain. Braced ore demands a steady hand: hold the marked force band to release it. Fragile and volatile finds reward careful hauling, while regional hazards make expeditions harder.

Build a rig worth risking

Spend earnings on workshop upgrades, choose temporary relics, and build lasting camp improvements. Pick a route that suits your rig, recover from failed expeditions, and return better prepared.

What waits below

  • Eight regions, eight guardians, and a 64-claim campaign.
  • Five route types with different risks and rewards.
  • 24 workshop upgrade types, temporary relics, and permanent camp improvements.
  • Clockwork beetles, pocket rockets, bats, and claim-jumper gnomes.
  • Single-player mining with keyboard and mouse controls.
