Cave exploration

Down Below

Every tunnel you dig is also a choice about how you'll get back out.

There is always something deeper. Scan the rock, dig carefully through unstable caverns and keep your way back open.

GET COMFORTABLE

Play your way.

Move, dig in four or eight directions, scan, place supports, use your tool and recall your route. Movement follows a grid but animates smoothly.

Assists give you unlimited oxygen, turn off cave-ins, extend scan range, highlight your way back and add checkpoint camps. In the default game, terrain never collapses without showing stress warnings first.
