How co-op works
Up to four players cooperatively operate a shared drilling machine in online sessions, coordinating navigation, resource extraction, and defense against cave creatures before returning collected loot to the surface for equipment upgrades.
About this game
BORE is a survival horror game built around a giant drilling machine that carries teams deep into monster-filled cave systems. Each expedition tasks players with harvesting valuable resources while managing threats that emerge from the dark. The drill serves as both transport and lifeline, and getting back to the surface with your haul intact requires careful planning and steady nerves. Solo players can take on the caves alone, but the machine's layered systems reward crews who split tasks and communicate.

Inside the drill, players juggle navigation controls, collection tools, and defensive measures as the environment closes in. Carving through rock, spotting high-value deposits, and reacting to creature attacks all happen simultaneously, demanding clear callouts and quick decisions. The tighter the coordination, the safer the crew and the bigger the payload.
Returning to the surface lets teams sell their finds and invest in upgrades that unlock access to deeper, more dangerous zones. Each successful run funds better drills, stronger defenses, and specialized equipment. The cycle of descent, extraction, and reinvestment gives weight to every choice and makes the next dive into the unknown feel like progress earned through shared risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play BORE solo, or do I need a full team?
You can play BORE solo and handle the drilling machine on your own, but the game is designed for 1-4 players in online co-op. With a crew, you can split tasks like navigation, collection, and defense, which makes managing the drill's layered systems much easier and safer during expeditions.
How does the drilling machine work with multiple players?
The drill has multiple systems running at once-navigation controls, collection tools, and defensive measures. In co-op, players can divide responsibilities, with one person steering, another scanning for deposits, and others handling creature threats. Clear communication and coordination are essential to keep the drill safe and maximize your resource haul.
What do I do with the resources I collect underground?
After escaping back to the surface, you sell your collected resources and use the profits to buy upgrades and equipment. These improvements let you access deeper, more dangerous cave zones and make your drill more capable for future runs. Each expedition feeds into a cycle of extraction and reinvestment.
What makes BORE a survival horror game?
The caves are filled with creatures that attack your drill as you tunnel through the dark. You need to manage threats while harvesting resources and navigating back to the surface. The tension comes from balancing extraction speed with survival-every moment underground risks losing your crew and your payload.
