You become a miner and set out on a quest to find a legendary ore said to exist deep underground. However, the depths of the earth are so deep and full of hard rocks that you will never be able to dig through them on your own. Therefore, you should hire other miners to work for you and give them precise instructions so that they can dig more efficiently! Will you be able to find rare ores?

About

Deep Bell

Features
Read full description

A town sank on a night of storm forty years ago. Its bell is still ringing. Drill down through the seabed and bring up what the town left behind. You are a diver with no name. From the salvage barge Kamome-maru you ride a diving bell down to Shizugane, the harbour town the sea took. • A seabed that shifts: sand pours into your tunnels, rubble tumbles and lava hardens where it meets the water. Every dig changes the ground beneath you. • Light and air: lamp oil, an air hose and a reserve tank. Fill your satchel, empty it at the bell, and go again. • Lower the bell down the tunnel you dug, and start your next dive from there. • Six depths, six worlds: the Shallows, Shizugane, the Cathedral, the Ship Graveyard, the Vents and the Trench, where the Great Bell lies. • 43 relics and 15 keepsakes, each holding a piece of the town's last night. • Restore the clock tower, the organ and the foundry, and rebuild the harbour. • A crew of three: a gruff captain, an engineer with no time for superstition, and a boy kept awake by a bell beneath the sea. And a question no one asks out loud: who is the diver? • Eels that steal your ore, squid that ink, crabs, anglerfish. They are few, and all give fair warning. Or switch on relaxed mode: no injuries, no thieving eels, just you, the dark water and the dig. • Play one-handed, in portrait. • A pixel-art sea, and music that shifts as you go deeper. Buy once. No ads, no in-app purchases. Plays offline.
