Deeper Still

Forty men went down Old Hale's shaft in 1919. None came up.

Ashgrove Colliery, 1923. The company gave you the keys, a ledger and a shaft nobody will name.
Dig. Hire men. Go deeper. Don't sing while you dig.

▶ Play the whole base game free in your browser. It saves on its own, and the mine keeps digging while you're away.

⛏ A dark idle game about digging too deep

Strike the rock, hire workers and watch the shaft sink through 10 strata: topsoil and clay, coal that is too clean, a layer of bones arranged like church pews, black glass where your reflection arrives late, and The Hum... all the way down to The Floor, where something knocks in time with your pick.

• 8 kinds of workers: Shovel Hands, Pick Miners, Pit Ponies, Steam Drills, Dynamite Crews, Deep Rigs, Hollow Men (nobody hired them) and The Borer
• 60+ upgrades and 40 feats (each feat gives +1% ore)
• Collapse the Shaft: prestige for Echoes and 6 Relics
• The Eye: something watches from the rock. Tap it for Ore Rush, windfalls or the x777 Deep Draw
• 12 ledger pages that tell the mystery of Thomas Hale, and 2 endings
• Cave-ins, offline progress, a low drone that gets deeper as you do
• Plays on PC and mobile · Space bar to dig · save export and import
• Fully bilingual: English / Português (PT-BR)
