Overview

Drilling is a cozy mining adventure from developer and publisher Studio. HONGS, released on November 3, 2026.

You play as Drilly, an ancient creature from the Moon who wakes up deep underground and must dig a path back home. There's no combat, no competition—just the simple, satisfying act of carving through the earth and upgrading your drill.

Highlights

  • Mining and Exploration: Dig through nine grades of rare ore scattered across each region. The higher you climb, the more precious the ore becomes.
  • Upgrade System: Spend collected ore on drill upgrades—size, power, movement speed, and more—to dig faster and deeper.
  • Relaxing Atmosphere: With pixel graphics and a casual, single-player focus, this is a stress-free experience perfect for unwinding.

Who It's For

If you enjoy relaxing, exploration-driven games like Motherload or SteamWorld Dig, or if you simply like the idea of mindless digging with a sense of progression, Drilling is for you. It's also great for players who prefer low-pressure gameplay without timers or enemies.
