About DIGGERGUN

Low wage. Exhaustion. Expensive fish and chips. Welcome to the United Kingdom.

DIGGERGUN is an oppressive life sim platformer about workers, minimum pay and the environment. You’re trapped on a blustery island, forced to work at Cornwall Mining Corp where it’s shadier than the game’s monochrome palette.

To escape, you need to earn £3000 from digging precious lithium. To survive, you need to manage your time, energy and money during the rigid day-and-night cycle.

Will you make ends meet while digging for freedom or find another way out and bring down the whole bloomin’ system?
