A terminal-based incremental mining game with ASCII graphics and hybrid idle/active gameplay.
In Terminal Descent, you begin with nothing but a basic drill and a stubborn rock.
Each keystroke chips away at the stone, yielding iron, rubble, and other materials hidden beneath.
The deeper you go, the more valuable the rewards — but also the tougher the stone.
Tap keys to mine manually
Automate extraction over time
Descend ever deeper into the cavern
Convert mined iron into gold, invest in better drills, auto-miners, and smelters, and build an unstoppable mining machine that runs even while you're away.
Every upgrade pushes you further — from iron to rare metals, thermal drills, and fully automated mining rigs.
