A downloadable game for Windows

Story: After your grandfather died unable to repay his debts, the burden fell on you. When you couldn't pay either, you were thrown into an abandoned debtor's mine-prison - where your only path to freedom is mining enough resources to cover the debt.

 🔄 Core Mechanics:

  • Dig through collapses with your shovel (upgradable)
  • Manage oxygen levels (limited air in collapsed tunnels)
  • Haul resources in your backpack (upgradable capacity)
  • Spend wisely between debt payments and survival upgrades

Progression System: ⚙️ Upgrades:

  • Shovel (digging speed/efficiency)
  • Backpack (carry more per trip)
  • Stamina (longer digging sessions)
  • Lung capacity (more time without oxygen)

Great game, I was almost out of debt. I got up to 7,000 then walked away. My character was just a step into the no oxygen zone and came back to a game over, lol.
