False Earth

In the frozen north of Russia, the active Kola Superdeep Borehole is venting impossible data. As a geologist sent to investigate strange signals deep within the Earth's crust, the core samples and readings you collect begin to shatter every established law of planetary formation. The deeper you descend into the world's deepest hole, the more reality unravels, leading to a terrifying final realization: the planet science has mapped for centuries is a lie—a False Earth.

You pilot a specialized bore machine to drill through increasingly dense, distinct subterranean layers.

• The Routine: Drill into a new layer, explore the environment and use the machine’s sensors to scan frequencies and analyze the rock.
• On-Foot Exploration: Step outside the vehicle with a pickaxe to break rocks, harvest valuable ore, and explore hidden caves for rare samples.
• Progression: Secure your data and materials, then drill deeper. Each new depth introduces exotic materials to harvest and fresh clues to uncover.

• Explore unique environments
• Progress through levels or areas
• Collect resources / items
• Upgrade tools or abilities
• Solve puzzles or objectives
• Unlock new areas
