After arriving on an island off the coast of Cornwall to work as Engineer, you’re quickly put to work in the lithium mines due to the flexibility clause in your contract. With the Cornwall Mining Corporation demanding a £3,000 fee to terminate your employment contract and take you back to the mainland, you’re left with nothing to do but dig.
DIGGERGUN’s world and gameplay is defined by its life-sim system, with the player required to carefully manage their time, energy and minimum wage in order to succeed as they dig through randomly generated mines looking for lithium.
What you do, when you do it and how you do it has never been so important in this oppressive world. Can you overcome the corporation, as it fights to drain you of every ounce of your spirit and stamina?
Features:
- Day-and-night cycle with an energy system where your actions truly matter as the sim-system tracks your gameplay and punishes/rewards you for your choices,
- An atmospheric world with unique characters who run on their own schedules. Who you interact with, and who you don’t, can change the outcome of your story,
- An all-to-real sim where wages, food, rent, and much more are based on the current cost-of-living in the United Kingdom, with tax calculated to real-world rates,
- Randomly generated mines always keep you on your toes and increase in difficulty as you move through them.

Hello everyone, its Kabloop here and wow Its been a hot minute since my last blog post , huh!
Quite a lot has happened since then. Ive been debugging, implementing various translations, as well as doing lots of other little tidbits. Theres still a bit more to go but Im happy to reveal that DIGGERGUN will still be launching this year!
In relation to that news, you, my wonderfully patient gamers, can actually get your hands on the game well, right now! Thats right, a DIGGERGUN demo is live and available for everyone to play!
The DIGGERGUN demo covers the first hour or two of the game, taking players through the opening tutorial and introducing them to the harsh world of DIGGERGUN and its oppressive gameplay. But players need not worry about struggling alone, as theyll be joined by a charming cast of characters whose stories can change the player\'s fate for the better
Wait, what are you still doing here? https://store.steampowered.com/app/1968180/DIGGERGUN/\"" style="color:#bb86fc;text-decoration:none;">Go play the demo!
For those still around, the new DIGGERGUN demo is a part of the Steam Next Fest: October 2025 Edition. This festival runs between 13th October - 20th October, 2025, during which gamers can get their hands on loads of demos for a variety of upcoming indie games. Its a great time to find your next infatuation, so make sure you get out there and play some games (I know I will!)
If you play the demo and like what you see, then pleasehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1968180/DIGGERGUN/\"" style="color:#bb86fc;text-decoration:none;"> wishlist DIGGERGUN .
