Keep Digging puts you in the role of an underground miner, digging through a world that extends to 5,000 meters. Search for ores, treasure chests, fossils, and equipment blueprints, while managing your supplies and finding a route back to the surface.
Bring mined materials home to smelt ores into ingots and forge equipment from blueprints. Equipment and blueprints have quality levels, while gemstones can be used to create orbs with random effects that you can combine and stack to shape your gear.
Play alone or online with up to seven others, either cooperating on expeditions or competing for items in PvP. The game also includes a separate Legacy Mode with its own save data for playing the earlier version.
Players who enjoy the game often describe digging and upgrading as a simple, absorbing loop, especially when shared with friends. Reviews also appreciate the expanded crafting and equipment systems in version 2.0, while some prefer the earlier, simpler version. Common criticisms include short or repetitive play, easy straight-down routes, and performance or interface problems.

Version 2.0 greatly overhauls the game systems and map. It adds a procedurally generated 5000m underground world, more than 350 items, inventory management, the smelter, forging, enchantments, and more, turning everything you dig up into progress for your character.
