KEEP DIGGING

Advertisement

Keep Digging is structured as a multiplayer mining game centered on continuous exploration of underground environments. Instead of focusing on combat or survival elements, the gameplay revolves around collective resource gathering, upgrading tools, and uncovering technology hidden beneath the surface. Each session adds progress to the overall journey, as players repeatedly return to the same world to dig deeper and expand their capabilities.

Progression Through Gear

The foundation of progression comes from mining tools and supporting technology. Simple items such as shovels provide the initial access to underground layers, while more advanced equipment gradually introduces efficiency and new ways of interacting with the terrain. Workbenches allow for structured upgrades, enabling players to reach greater depths and improve resource collection. Technologies found while digging or traded with merchants extend this system, offering unique functions that change the approach to exploration.

Examples of usable equipment include:

  •         Shovels and pickaxes for excavation
  •         Dynamite for breaking through dense rock
  •         Wire ropes for descending or climbing shafts
  •         Batteries that sustain powered devices
  •         Color spray to mark paths and coordinate progress

Each item can be upgraded up to level 20, and more than eight categories of technology can be combined to create a personalized toolkit.

Cooperative Play

Keep Digging supports groups of up to eight players in a shared underground session. Multiplayer design is based on cooperation rather than competition. Currency and resources gathered in solo play can be brought into group sessions, and discoveries made in another player’s world can be returned to the home world. This design ensures that time spent in any mode contributes to lasting progression. Coordination between players often involves dividing responsibilities such as resource extraction, transporting items, or upgrading tools, reinforcing the value of teamwork.

Structure Of The Underground

The underground environment is composed of ten layers that extend down to 1,000 meters. Each layer introduces new obstacles, ore veins, and occasional hidden treasures. Random generation ensures that layouts are never identical, giving each session replay value. The depth system provides clear milestones, with players encouraged to gradually advance toward the lowest levels while refining their tools and strategies.

Customization And Companions

Character customization adds individuality, allowing adjustments to body shape, clothing, and unlockable skins. Emotes further support expression in multiplayer sessions. Non-player companions complement this system by continuing to mine when players are offline, ensuring steady progress over time. Equipping companions with better gear enhances their productivity, enabling the underground world to remain active beyond direct play sessions. This balance between personal involvement and autonomous support keeps the experience accessible and ongoing.
