Mashina Digs into Steam July 31 — A Hand-Crafted Mining Adventure with a Big Heart

If you’re in the mood for a cozy, handcrafted adventure with a dash of digging and a lot of heart, Mashina should be on your radar. From the creators of Judero, this charming stop-motion-style adventure has just dropped a new trailer—and surprise! The release is closer than expected. Mashina officially launches on PC via Steam on July 31, 2025.

Welcome to the World of Mashina

In Mashina, you play as a warm-hearted mining robot (fittingly named Mashina) on a mission to dig up minerals and resources to support and grow her quirky robot community. This isn’t just about digging, though—it’s about connection, creativity, and helping your friends thrive in a delightfully offbeat world.

The game is split between two distinct zones:

• The Underground – A mysterious, mineral-rich network of tunnels and hidden treasures. Think classic digging gameplay with a few modern twists.

• The Overground – A vibrant island hub where your robotic pals hang out, hand you missions, help upgrade your gear, and cheer you on as you improve the world around you.

Expect a relaxing but rewarding gameplay loop of exploration, upgrades, and rebuilding a robot community one precious trinket at a time.

Key Features

• Traditional Stop-Motion Animation

  Everything in Mashina is handcrafted using real-world materials and animated with traditional stop-motion techniques. It looks incredible in motion—like playing through a living diorama.

• Digging, Mining & Discovery

  Use tools (and your own robo hands) to uncover minerals and rare items underground. Unlock radar systems and eventually automate your digging empire with gadgets you find along the way.

• Inventory Management with Purpose

  Every trip below counts. Carefully manage what you carry back to the surface to make the most of your expeditions.

• Upgrades & Unlockables

  Discover rare materials and items that unlock new equipment, inventions, and even robot friends who’ll lend a hand (or claw).

• Base Building & Customization

  Take what you find below and bring it back topside to customize and enhance your home. Decorate, upgrade, and build a place your robot neighbors will love.

• Chill Vibes All Around

  No timers, no stress—just good vibes, charming characters, and that satisfying rhythm of dig, discover, and build.

If you’re into cozy games like SteamWorld Dig, Animal Crossing, or Spiritfarer, Mashina looks like it’s going to hit that sweet spot. Get ready to dig deep, upgrade your tools, make new friends, and unearth the mysteries of a hand-crafted world when Mashina launches July 31.
