KEEP DIGGING

Keep Digging is a game where the player controls a character moving downward through underground layers. The objective is to reach a depth of one thousand meters while collecting resources and improving equipment. Each descent requires planning, since the character has limited energy and tools. The player can sell what is found, purchase upgrades, and attempt to dig further the next time. The loop of gathering, upgrading, and progressing defines the experience.

Tools, Upgrades, and Depth

The underground environment is divided into multiple levels, each containing distinct materials and obstacles. Some sections require stronger tools, while others demand better stamina or larger storage. Tools can be enhanced step by step, and every improvement directly affects digging efficiency. Deeper levels reveal rare resources that cannot be obtained near the surface, creating a cycle where progress is linked to investment in upgrades.

The main categories of upgrades include:

·         digging tools with higher durability

·         power sources such as batteries

·         carrying capacity of the backpack

·         ropes and equipment for descent

·         optional items that unlock new functions

These upgrades are connected, and players must decide how to distribute resources to keep progress balanced.

Solo and Cooperative Modes

Keep Digging can be played alone or with other people. In solo mode, the player may use assistants that continue to gather resources even when the game is not active. In cooperative sessions, up to eight participants can dig together, combining efforts to reach deeper levels. Cooperation introduces coordination, since players can divide roles and share responsibilities. Both modes support long-term progression, and resources gained in one mode remain available in the other.

Progression and Challenges

The structure of the game encourages repeated cycles of descent. At first, the player may only reach shallow levels before needing to return for upgrades. As equipment improves, each descent becomes longer, and the possibility of reaching new depths increases. Random elements appear in the underground map, so no two attempts are identical. The absence of enemies shifts attention toward planning, resource efficiency, and teamwork in cooperative play.

Core Focus

Keep Digging emphasizes gradual improvement through resource management. The main task is not survival against threats but reaching deeper levels through steady upgrading of tools and capacity. The design balances short sessions of gathering with long-term progression across many attempts. Each choice about which upgrade to buy or how far to descend influences the overall result. The game places the player in a system where consistent progress is possible, but only through careful planning and persistence.
