DrillKeep splits your attention between two interconnected systems. Below ground, pilot a drill through procedural rock layers, mining ores, discovering caverns, and avoiding underground hazards. Above ground, your kingdom needs walls, towers, and troops funded by what you extract. The twist: raid difficulty scales with how deep you've drilled. Push too deep too fast and your surface defenses crumble. The strategic tension between greed and preparedness is the core of every session.

The Hook

The deeper you drill, the better the loot — but beware: the surface becomes increasingly perilous the longer you stay underground.
