⛏️ ABOUT THE GAME
Break through mountains. Unite peoples. Grow stronger.
You are a young miner who challenges a massive mountain. Your journey is not just about mining ore. It's a story of growing up, full of hard work, friendship, and victories. From a bold teenager proving his strength to an experienced master who unites scattered peoples and forges a path across an entire continent.
This is a cozy story about legacy, about how one person can connect the world, and about how true inheritance is not the mountains you've broken through, but the people you've inspired.
🏔️ GAMEPLAY
Dig. Lose. Start over. Grow stronger.
Strike the rock with your pickaxe, collect ore, sell it, and upgrade your gear. Every strike brings you closer to your goal. But the mountain resists. Boulders fall, stalactites crash down, geysers boil. If you don't escape in time—the cave will collapse, and you'll lose all the ore from that run. But experience and money invested in upgrades will stay with you. Start over, but stronger. When you break through a mountain completely, it stops collapsing. You unlock a new biome, new people, and new opportunities.
👥 FRIENDS AND MECHANICS
As you progress, you meet NPCs, each unlocking a unique mechanic. A miner friend starts visiting your previously broken-through caves and mining ore—this is passive income. A musician plays special melodies that buff you during runs. A fortune teller predicts events: when the cave will collapse, where rare ore is hidden, when a storm will come. A cart builder constructs tracks for quick evacuation before cave-ins. But most importantly—they become your family.
🌍 SETTING AND ATMOSPHERE
The game takes place at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries—the era of great constructions, steam engines, and the first railroads. It's a world without magic, but full of the romance of pioneers. Unique biomes: from green meadows and oak forests to snow-covered Alpine peaks and icy plateaus at the edge of the world. A cozy atmosphere: warm camps by the fire, the smell of fresh bread, the creak of wood, the clang of hammers. A world you'll want to return to.
