About

Journey to the surface—explore, develop, fight, die… repeat! Welcome to the frontline! Workers are as expendable as they are useful. Your job is to mine resources, upgrade equipment, defend your base and restore power to the Undercity.

Begin Transmission

Operator #2363—you have been randomly volunteered for the ITER Corporation’s restoration project. Congratulations! Journey to the surface in order to explore, exploit and excavate as much of the local material as possible. This is an essential mission and for your service, the Undercity thanks you. There have been rumours of mechanoid enemies roaming the surface disrupting supply lines and wiping out operators but fear not—this is a sacrifice we are willing to make. Just be sure to save some resources for the next worker. Your efforts on the frontline are pivotal for survival!

Mining 101

Mine for resources and artefacts to aid you on your journey. Everything you need to survive is buried in those pillars. Each one contains precious materials as well as mysterious caves that emit strong waves of energy which are essential for the Undercity.

Be wary of shifting dimensions as you explore the great pillars. You will be passing from 2D to 3D on occasion to solve puzzles, gather additional materials and face peril. We’re confident that aside from potential death, there are few other side effects.

Defend the Great Undercity

In case of emergency, be sure to rain bullets on anything that dares to approach your base. Man the gun tower and explore the pillar’s caves to uncover new technology. Use this technology to build automated combat systems and halt any oncoming threats.

Never manned a turret before? No problem—you’ll either learn or die trying. That said, this is state of the art tech and all ITER Operators have received basic training in the form of a paper flyer on day one.

Upgrades, People! Upgrades!

Thanks to ITER Corp’s ongoing Research & Development work you’ll be constantly exposed to newer and sharper tools. What’s better than your basic training gear? Slightly stronger equipment of course.

Choose where to focus your upgrades wisely, will you focus on mining more effectively or is speed the name of the game as far as you’re concerned? ITER Corp graciously allows you to choose your own career progression.

End of Life Policy

We are grateful for your continued commitment to the cause. One of the potential career paths in the line of duty is death. No problem—you’re totally replaceable! Your handy replacement will be able to pick up from where you left off and may even bring new skills… If you happen to hear any grumblings, just remember—in space no one can hear your HR complaint!
