The brand-new turn-based colony simulator Drill Rift has been confirmed for release on Steam, coming out sometime in late 2025
Indie game developer and publisher Steam Veil Games has revealed that their latest game, Drill Rift, is coming out on PC later this year. The game is a turn-based colony sim where you run a dwarven mining operation deep below the surface, as you'll have to manage the tasks they do without having the place come down all around you. The game will be getting a free demo on September 20 on Steam as a precursor to the game's eventual release, whicht they are planning to have out before year's end.
The dwarves broke into a cave deeper than any before it. Inside it our scouts found an open rift, a portal to somewhere else. The King of the Mountain gave one order: send a crew, build an outpost, and extract everything you can. You arrive with four workers and just enough supplies to last the first few days. The rest is up to you. Drill Rift is a single-player game where you will manage a dwarven mining operation deep under the mountain. You will need to upgrade machinery, research new technologies, keep your dwarves motivated and make sure that you do not awaken what lies below.
