Calling all roughnecks and future master miners,

The moment is here! Drillbound is officially participating in the Steam Next Fest! We’ve packed our newly updated demo with fresh content, smoother performance, and a completely hands-free stoking system so you can focus on what matters. It's time to fire up the engines and dig all the way to the core! 🌏!

🔗 Play the Demo & Wishlist Here:

🧱 What is Drillbound?

Simply put, it’s the ultimate mashup of incremental mechanics and chaotic heavy industry! Step into the boots of an elite miner and take control of an infinitely evolving drill:

  • Relentless Excavation: Pilot your colossal drill, dig endlessly into the planet's depths, and harvest ultra-rare ores.

  • Lots of Upgrades: Say goodbye to manual labor! Upgrade your rig and smelters, unlock unstoppable automated mining drones, and build the ultimate excavation machine.

💬 A Message from the Dev: To Our Fellow Miners

"Hey everyone! As a solo developer, I am incredibly thrilled (and a little nervous!) to finally bring Drillbound to Steam Next Fest.

My goal from day one was to create a game that’s easy to pick up, insanely addictive, and packed with that chaotic heavy-industry charm. I hope this demo brings you that pure, satisfying dopamine hit of digging deeper and upgrading your gear.

The game is still in active development, which means your feedback is everything to me! If you run into any bugs or have some wild ideas for the game, drop a comment in the Steam discussions or hop into the Discord.

If you enjoy your time in the mines, please drop a Wishlist! For any developer, it’s the absolute best fuel to keep the engines running!

Happy digging, and may your hauls be massive. Now go fire up that drill!"
