The Developer Says...

Clock in to the most absurd contract shift of your life in Glorgo’s Microplastics Mine, a brilliant Y2k-themed, eccentric incremental resource manager that rattles the senses while you’re tasked with overseeing the small but mighty workforce under you who are sent into the alien mines to retrieve the precious microplastics your scheming boss desires. 

Keep your wits about you as you dig further into the quarry, discovering not only more valuable minerals over time, but also the monsters that lurk within the depths in droves. Hire more of your delightfully expendable miners to harvest more microplastics, increase your operation with upgrades that help you meet your quarterly goals, and defeat the horrors that threaten to ruin your workflow.  Watch as your miners grow, change and mutate before your very eyes during their exposure to the microplastics they’re surrounded by in both humorous and uniquely grotesque ways that make one ask the question of when is enough enough?

Or, well, that can wait until the next fiscal year at least. You’ve got a job to do, and there’s always more where they came from. Get to digging!
