Buried Hearth

Story

A once-thriving village was devastated when the mountain suddenly collapsed. Many villagers and miners were killed or trapped beneath the rubble. You play as the only survivor left on the surface. Your mission is to dig deep into the unstable mine and bring the survivors back to safety. But be careful... the mountain is shaking more violently with each passing moment, and the true cause of this disaster is slowly awakening in the depths.

Gameplay

Manage Your Stamina : Your stamina is your lifeblood. It acts as both your health and your energy.

Explore & Rescue : Dig through randomly generated mines up to the bottom of the mine. Find resources, restorative fountains, and rescue 10 unique NPCs to fill up your Tavern.

Timing-Based Combat : Face monsters in an interactive mini-game where missing the sweet spot damages your stamina.

Upgrade Your Town : Use the ores you collect (Bronze, Silver, Gold) to upgrade your pickaxe, craft powerful rings at the Workshop and restaure buildings.

The Clocktower : Keep an eye on the time. The environment, lighting, and music will dynamically shift as the mountain's seismic instability grows.

How to play :

Move with the WASD keys and the mouse.
Space Bar or Left Click to Talk & Fight.
