Drill deeper. Get richer. Survive the depths. Come out the other side.
THE LONG WAY DOWN is a first-person digging game where you carve your own tunnels in real time, mine valuable minerals, and sell what you extract to fund upgrades. Drill for oil, refine it into fuel, and keep pushing deeper - because demons live below, and they will try to stop you. Along the way, uncover unique finds like fossils and buried treasures.
