About GONE DIGGING

Welcome to Gone Digging

Every morning begins the same:A shovel. A cave. A deadline.

Gone Digging is a 1–4 player co-op digging thriller/simulation where you and your friends must mine valuable loot during the day to satisfy a hungry, evil before nightfall.

Fail to offer enough… and something comes looking for you.

⛏️A Single-player demo available⛏️

Dig deep into unstable caves filled with valuable resources and unsettling discoveries. Work together or split up to maximize your haul before time runs out.

  • Discover valuable and mysterious loot
  • Sell finds to a roaming merchant
  • Earn money to upgrade tools, dig faster, and reach deeper zones
  • Unlock new cave layers with greater risk and greater rewards

Each night demands a sacrifice. Choose what to offer wisely:

  • Rare loot buys safety
  • Greed invites punishment
  • Poor planning brings terror

If the entity isn’t satisfied…

  • The caves grow hostile
  • Monsters emerge
  • Cooperation becomes desperation

Run. Hide. Or fight to see the next sunrise.

  • 1–4 Player Online Co-op
  • Risk vs Reward loot economy
  • Tool upgrades & progression
  • Day/Night survival cycle
  • Horror & tension-driven fear

Replayable sessions with escalating danger
