DIGGERGUN

An oppressive platformer about workers, low wages and the environment.

After arriving on an island off the coast of Cornwall to work as Engineer, you’re quickly put to work in the lithium mines due to the flexibility clause in your contract. With the Cornwall Mining Corporation demanding a £3,000 fee to terminate your employment contract and take you back to the mainland, you’re left with nothing to do but dig.

DIGGERGUN’s world and gameplay is defined by its life-sim system, with the player required to carefully manage their time, energy and minimum wage in order to succeed as they dig through randomly generated mines looking for lithium.

What you do, when you do it and how you do it has never been so important in this oppressive world. Can you overcome the corporation, as it fights to drain you of every ounce of your spirit and stamina?

Features:

• Day-and-night cycle with an energy system where your actions truly matter as the sim-system tracks your gameplay and punishes/rewards you for your choices,
  
• An atmospheric world with unique characters who run on their own schedules. Who you interact with, and who you don’t, can change the outcome of your story,
  
• An all-to-real sim where wages, food, rent, and much more are based on the current cost-of-living in the United Kingdom, with tax calculated to real-world rates,
  
• Randomly generated mines always keep you on your toes and increase in difficulty as you move through them.
