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 there, Kabloop here!\n
Big news today!! Im excited to announce that DIGGERGUN will be launching on Thursday, 6th November 2025. At the time of this blog post, thats next week!!
Check out a new trailer here:
Wow, I never thought I would reach this milestone. Ive been working on DIGGERGUN for a long time, and the games release always felt like a very far-off thing to actually be here, releasing the game to everyone, is exceptionally exciting indeed!
DIGGERGUN is a life-sim, platformer based on real-life. The way the game has morphed over the years Ive been working on it has been extraordinary.\n
This is a game with a lot of different systems, all working together in tandem to create an experience which aspires to make the player feel constrained and uncomfortable, yet free to tackle and adapt to those feelings however they please. The player can completely miss entire storylines or barely interact with some of the systems in place, and thats more than fine. I dont try to direct the player, for better and for worse, letting the game evolve before you as you play.\n
When I originally started developing DIGGERGUN, I didnt intend to go as deep with the game as I have done. But the fact that even on my playthroughs, Im still getting surprised by the game, means that I must have done something right!
So here I am, with a game which I hope is as meaningful to others as it is to me. DIGGERGUN is pretty oppressive, and I definitely wouldnt recommend anyone to blast through the game in a few days, but theres also a lot of love there and I hope Ive shone a light on just how unfit and unjust the world of employment is.
Thank you to everyone for all of your support.
