Launching in Q4 2025 on Steam, Drill Rift will also have a playable demo available starting September 20th, right in time for Steam Next Fest.

What is Drill Rift?

At its core, Drill Rift puts you in charge of a dwarven mining operation buried beneath a mountain. Your job? Build up a drill outpost, manage resources, upgrade machinery, and keep your dwarves motivated. But beware—the deeper you dig, the more you risk awakening something that should have stayed buried.

Key Features

• Build Your Outpost – Construct and upgrade machinery to keep operations running, but plan wisely. Resources are scarce, and a bad decision could doom your settlement.

• Face the Madness – The depths aren’t just dark—they’re dangerous. As you drill deeper, madness grows, attracting creatures that may not take kindly to your intrusion.

• Manage Your Dwarves – Each dwarf brings unique stats that act as modifiers in dice-based events. Assign them carefully—low health or high madness could mean disaster for your entire outpost.

With its blend of strategic planning, resource management, and dice-driven encounters, Drill Rift looks like a fresh twist on the colony sim genre—perfect for fans of games that punish reckless ambition.

Will you strike riches beneath the mountain, or awaken the horrors that slumber below?
