About
Dig deep and build big in this sandbox strategy game where sand behaves like a living thing. Your tools are drills saws and conveyor belts used to carve through a destructible world layer by layer. As you dig you trigger landslides and reshape terrain while setting up processing plants to sort and refine resources. Automation is key as you chain together conveyors and storage hubs to keep your expanding operation running smoothly. Each layer you uncover holds new materials and tech upgrades but also hidden dangers lurking in the darkness below. The underground gets seriously eerie as you progress with flickering lights and strange noises accompanying deeper excavations. Players clock 2000+ hours on average digging through 90% positive reviews for the game's punishing depth. What starts as simple digging turns into complex base building with players reporting satisfying eureka moments when their systems finally click. The single player experience leans into isolation with one vocal community member noting the "creepy atmosphere" and "relentless physics" that make every collapse feel earned.

Lastly, I keep being reverse-mugged by Hooded Horse who has slipped yet another game into my inbox, and I still haven't played Corsair Cove yet! This time it's Sandustry! It looks like a mix of Noita and Factorio, which is just an incredible idea. And there is of course a demo for folks to try out!
