Mine by day, sell by night
The loop is simple and hard to put down. You head underground to dig out gems, rare metals, and buried treasure, then come back up to smelt, shape, and set them into rings and necklaces with a physics-based crafting system.
Nights belong to the shop. You stock the shelves, serve the customers who walk in, and slowly rebuild the reputation your uncle let slide. Level up to mine faster, dig deeper, and haul more loot back to the surface, then pour the profits into new floors and better rooms.
A cozy business with mechs and tremors
You work in colorful pixel-art tunnels that change with procedural generation, so no two digging trips look quite the same. Your mech, truck, character, and shop all take upgrades, which gives sim fans that steady sense of tools getting better and premises getting bigger.
Something is off, though. Every night the ground shakes, and the mystery behind those earthquakes hangs over the whole routine. Play alone at your own pace or split the labor with up to four people online, pooling profits and running the operation together. Family business, but with heavy machinery.
What else should you know?
Can you play it solo?
Yes. You can run the whole mine-and-shop routine alone at your own pace, or team up with up to four people in online co-op to share the digging, crafting, and serving.
What do you actually do in the shop?
You stock the shelves with the jewelry you crafted, serve the customers who come in, and rebuild the shop's reputation from nothing. Expanding with new floors and upgraded rooms lets you grow the business over time.
How does crafting work?
You bring ore and gems up from the mine, smelt the metal, shape it into jewelry like rings and necklaces, and set gemstones into the pieces before putting them up for sale.
