Read full description

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. DEEP CORP FEATURES: • Mining Strategy: Dig tunnels, survey deposits, hire miners, and manage worker assignments. • Resource Management: Organize extraction, storage, manufacturing, and delivery. • Transport Network: Build routes, upgrade carts, and prevent traffic jams. • Production Chains: Unlock recipes and manufacture increasingly complex goods. • Town Restoration: Fulfill orders, rebuild towns, and develop the frontier. • Wild West Economy: Grow a mining company and restore a struggling region. Dig deeper, build smarter, and become an industrial tycoon in Deep Corp!
