The deeper you drill, the richer the haul—and the harder the journey home. DRILLWAKE is an offline mining adventure about risk, discovery, and a machine you build your way. Carve a route through buried worlds, bring your ore back alive, and turn each haul into the rig that gets you farther next time. • Drill through six strata on Vesper-9, each with new ore and hazards • Manage fuel, hull, heat, cargo space, and drilling power on every run • Find parts and trinkets, level them up, and merge duplicates into rarer gear • Visit the Forge for changing stock and a daily crate • Unlock six machines with different strengths and abilities • Face bosses, uncover artifacts, and push farther in the endless Deep Bore • Take on the Daily Dig, claim daily jobs, and explore each season's Expedition Pass • Play offline without an account or an energy timer • Choose English, Spanish or French in Settings THE FIRST EXPEDITION: Vesper-9 includes six strata, the Warden, the Planet Heart, artifacts, a vault, and the Deep Bore. It is a complete expedition with an ending. FULL EXPEDITION is an optional one-time purchase, not a subscription. It opens Kolvath, Ossara, Nerith and Calyra, their bosses and artifacts, and removes ads. Players who bought DRILLWAKE before its free-to-download transition keep Full Expedition automatically. CORE GEMS can be earned through play and spent on optional boosts, Forge actions and cosmetic rig paints. Optional consumable gem packs and a limited-time Starter Pack are also available for purchase. The Starter Pack includes 300 Core Gems, 2 Boss Keys, Pioneer paint and one fixed Epic part, named in-game before purchase. Gear Crates cost 150 earned Scrap, not gems; their odds are shown before opening. Optional rewarded videos appear only when you choose an offer. Progress is never gated by watching an ad, and offline play still works. Game Center rankings and achievements require an internet connection and Game Center sign-in. Dig deep. Get rich. Try not to explode.
