Play as a dwarf exploring a procedurally generated world of mountains and underground caverns in search of the lost Emberstone. Mine resources, explore different areas, and face creatures beneath the mountains, alone or with friends.
Dig and reshape terrain to open routes and make room for a mining fortress. Gather materials by hand, then build drills, belts, and other machines to mine, move, and refine resources automatically.
Craft tools and building pieces, complete quests, and sell goods for gold used to unlock research. As you progress, improve your equipment and expand your production lines and dwarven stronghold.
Players who enjoy Orebound often praise its digging and mining, the satisfying loop of building and automating production, and the dwarf-themed underground setting. Some appreciate its approachable pace and freedom to shape a base, while others find the experience rough around the edges, especially its building placement, combat, and performance.
