Overview
About this game
Dig deep. Survive the depths. Come back rich.
Deep Enough is a cozy first-person mining game where every swing of the pickaxe reveals a little more of the world. Beneath an ordinary patch of grass lies an entire underworld of veins, caverns, and legendary ores — it's up to you to dig deep enough to find them.
Core features
- Fully deformable terrain — every pickaxe strike reshapes the ground for real, powered by a signed-distance-field (SDF) system that carves the world voxel by voxel.
- 7 ores to discover — coal, tin, copper, iron, silver, gold, and the mythical violet Altarite with properties no one fully understands.
- An interactive smelter — refine your raw ore into high-value ingots. Each ore takes a different smelt time and coal cost.
- An upgradable workbench — invest your earnings with Joss for stronger pickaxes, dynamite, and to unlock new depth tiers.
- Consumables with real buffs — pizza, soda, cola: every snack grants a temporary boost (mining speed, agility, jump height). Eat them on the spot or carry them out to throw.
- Dynamic day / night cycle — procedural atmospheric scattering, birds chirping on the surface, oppressive silence deep below.
- Built-in lo-fi radio — turn on the workbench radio and skip tracks while you chip away at the rock.
The loop
1. Surface — collect surface ores, eat a slice of pizza, kick off your first smelt batch.
2. Underground — buy a better pickaxe, dive 50m, 100m, 500m. Every tier reveals rarer veins.
3. Deep biomes — explore lower zones where the air thins and Altarite faintly glows.
4. Workshop — return to Joss with a full bag, sell, refine, gear up, dive deeper.
