Players step into the boots of Digsby, an unfortunate miner who finds himself unexpectedly deep underground on his very first day of work. Guided by a disembodied floating head, Digsby's mission is to collect ancient artifacts. To achieve this, players must strategically deploy a variety of cunning traps to overcome the subterranean monsters and break through the earth's layers.
