Overview
Deep Core Protocol is an incremental simulation game that challenges players to descend into the earth, mine resources, and evolve their operations into a highly automated, explosive spectacle. Starting with just a pickaxe, players will break ore, earn gold, and invest in upgrades to their equipment and Core Matrix. The game progresses from manual labor to a complex system of AI, powerful skills, and synergistic upgrades that transform simple mining into a chain reaction of attacks and explosions.
Highlights

- Deep Customization: Build and upgrade your Core Matrix to unlock powerful synergies and dramatically alter your mining strategy.
- Satisfying Progression: Experience a satisfying loop of upgrading, unlocking new abilities, and witnessing your mining operation become an explosive force.
Who It's For
This game is perfect for players who enjoy incremental and idle games, especially those with a focus on automation and resource management.
