A minimalist horror game about a prisoner who signs a deal with a mining corporation to extract valuable materials and search for something hidden deep within underground caves, all while facing dangerous entities and threats in exchange for a reduced sentence.
The Depth Contract
SteamYou are a prisoner who signed a deal with a mining corporation to extract valuable materials from deep underground caves in exchange for a reduced sentence.
But there’s more to the deal. Somewhere in the depths, they want you to find something and bring it back. Do that, and you’ll earn not only your freedom, but also a reward of 10 million dollars.
What begins as a simple mining job slowly turns into a dangerous struggle for survival. Dig through underground caves, collect materials, upgrade your tools, and descend into deeper and more hazardous zones filled with secrets and threats.
This is not just about mining… it’s about strategy, progression, and survival. The deeper you go, the higher the risk and the greater the reward.
