Deep Corp vs ButtonHook

Deep Corp is a strategic management sim set in the waning days of the Wild West, blending resource extraction, production chains, and regional governance. Build and manage a mining company, organize resources and transportation, develop local industry, and, as the region’s new governor, help restore a devastated frontier. DIG DEEP & MANAGE YOUR MINES Explore underground areas, conduct geological surveys, and discover valuable deposits. Dig tunnels, hire miners, assign workers, and design efficient mine layouts. Resources are not extracted automatically. Place warehouses carefully, organize mine cart traffic, and prevent underground traffic jams that can slow down your entire operation. BUILD A LOGISTICS NETWORK Extracting resources is only the beginning. Connect mines, factories, warehouses, and towns with efficient transport routes. Buy and upgrade carts, deliver resources where they are needed, and build reliable supply chains as your mining company expands. Every route matters: one weak link can disrupt the entire economy. DEVELOP YOUR INDUSTRY Turn raw materials into valuable goods. Open new factories, unlock recipes, and combine materials from different production sites. Coordinate extraction, storage, manufacturing, and delivery as one connected system. REBUILD CITIES AS GOVERNOR Take responsibility not only for your company, but for the surrounding region as well. Fulfill city orders, deliver essential goods, and help devastated frontier towns recover. Successful deliveries earn you money, new workers, and access to further expansion opportunities. Fail to complete key orders, and your approval rating will fall.

A buttonhook is the move a trucker makes to dock a 53ft trailer in a lot that is too tight for it: swing wide, then cut back. Every day there is one yard, the same one for everybody. You start loaded, in Drive, looking at a bay you cannot reach in a straight line. Make one good forward setup, shift into Reverse, and put the trailer on the dock without touching anything. Your score is how many times you had to change gear after moving. Shifting while stopped is free. Zero shifts is a perfect run. A run takes about a minute. Come back tomorrow for the next yard. WHAT MAKES IT HARD The puzzle is the setup, not the parking. Where you stop going forward decides whether the reverse line exists at all. A trailer does not go where you point it, it goes where you already put it. A guide line shows where the trailer is headed, so you learn fast. CONTROLS MADE FOR A THUMB Put your thumb down anywhere and a steering wheel appears under it. Slide sideways to steer, pull down to roll, let go to stop. Prefer buttons? Switch to arrows in the menu. WHAT IS NOT IN IT No ads. No accounts. No login, nothing to sign up for. There is a tip jar in the menu and it unlocks nothing: the game is exactly the same before and after. A year of daily yards is already inside the app.
