About this game
🌵 A debt you can’t escape
It’s 2046. Water is scarce. Land is barren. Corporations rule everything. You are bound by a contract you never truly understood - a massive debt owed to a ruthless megacorporation. The only way out?
Extract. Build. Expand. Survive.
Every unit of cobalt you mine brings you closer to freedom… or deeper into the system.

Mine cobalt and rare resources
Discover new deposits across expanding regions
Manage limited energy and equipment durability
Sell resources and crafted goods in settlements
🤖 AUTOMATION & PRODUCTION
You weren’t meant to do this alone.
Build a growing industrial network in the middle of nowhere:
Deploy automated drills and extractors
Use drones to transport and manage resources
Expand with storage unit and power system
Design your own efficient production system - or watch it collapse under its own weight.
🔧 CRAFTING & UPGRADES

Every upgrade is a step toward independence - and a bigger target on your back.
🏍️ EXPLORATION & TRAVEL
The world is vast. And it doesn’t care about you.
Travel across desolate terrain:
Explore new zones filled with resources and secrets
Ride your electric motorbike across long distances
Manage battery levels - always carry spares
Freedom is out there. But reaching it won’t be easy.
🏙️ STORY & WORLD
You’re not alone in this broken system.
Meet people trying to survive under corporate control
Uncover stories hidden beneath contracts and machines
Decide how far you’re willing to go to clear your debt
Not everyone believes in freedom anymore.
