Drill Core is a planet-mining roguelike strategy game you can try free

Mining is one of the most satisfying activities in any videogame, as long proven by the likes of Deep Rock Galactic, Terraria, Spelunky, and of course the mighty Minecraft. Yet - as they all prove - it can also be fantastically dangerous. So instead of doing it yourself, why not run a powerful mining corporation instead and have others do the hard graft? That's the premise of Drill Core, a new roguelike strategy game that's just launched on Steam, and you can try it out for free with a Steam sale discount if you want to keep playing.

Drill Core Has Now Launched into Early Access

[URGENT] Drill Core Has Now Launched into Early Access


[h3]To: All Platform Managers[/h3]

The Board of Directors is beyond thrilled to inform you that Drill Core has successfully launched into Early Access, significantly expanding our corporate interests across the galaxy! This monumental achievement marks a pivotal step in our long-term strategy to dominate the galactic mining and terraforming sectors.

To celebrate this incredible milestone, we have prepared a highly informative video featuring interviews with our hardworking ground teams!

Note: The HR department has been made aware of certain inappropriate behaviors during the filming of these interviews. The Miner implicating misconduct by the Platform Manager has been... "transitioned out" of the company, so rest assured that you are still operating in a completely compliant, ethical environment.

[h3]We have prepared several mildly motivational items for our Platform Managers to commemorate our common success.[/h3]

[h2]Entry fee reduced by 20%![/h2]
Yes, you heard that right. For one entire week, our product is discounted by a [color]generous 20%[/color]. Now’s your chance to invest early at a very reasonable price - before it inevitably rises!

[h2]An additional 10% off for Black Skylands owners![/h2]
That’s right! If you already own or purchase Black Skylands - a product from our esteemed major shareholders, Hungry Couch Games - you will be rewarded with an [color]extra 10% discount[/color]. Plus, we’re adding genetically enhanced Moths to your platform. These trusted flying companions are eager to assist in carrying goods, delivering results, and absolutely, positively replacing one of your existing carriers. Just make sure you adjust your team headcount accordingly. Downsizing is optimizing!



Moving forward, we anticipate significant growth in company shares as a direct result of this investment opportunity. Our corporate Roadmap, outlining our strategy for galactic expansion and innovation, will be communicated next week. Remember, it’s not just about mining—it’s about building a better galaxy, one core at a time!

Now, please proceed to click the Buy button below. Failure to do so will automatically signal non-compliance and may prompt further communication from the Head of Your Sector.
