A horror game where you're buried alive in a collapsed underground mine, and your only hope for survival is an old mining machine. Workplace safety rules no longer apply. Just remember: DON'T. STOP. DIGGING.
Adventure, Indie · More free games
In GRINDWORM, you navigate treacherous underground tunnels controlled by an ancient mining machine. As you dig for survival, every sound could be your last.
About this game
You were late for your shift. Now the tunnels have collapsed, your crew is missing, and your only hope is a worn-out mining machine.
Dig through collapsing rock and something far worse.
You're alone. The machine moans. The walls twitch. Reality slips.
This is no longer mining.
This is surgery...
and something doesn't want you to leave.
Built around isolation, dread, and the slow erosion of reality.
