Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly directed story rather than open-ended building and exploration
- Players who prefer quick sessions without mining, crafting, and factory expansion
- Players looking for a non-combat experience, since creatures beneath the mountains can be fought
Our take on Orebound
Its defining structure is the combination of first-person voxel exploration with factories built from mined resources, allowing production systems to expand both across the mountains and into the underground.
What is Orebound?
Orebound is a first-person factory automation game set in a procedurally generated voxel world.
Players can explore mountain ranges, dig beneath the Earth, mine resources, craft dwarven items, and construct a mining fortress. Factory systems use machines, drill rigs, belts, and ore-refining equipment to automate production. Deeper areas contain rarer materials and may reveal further discoveries. The game includes a search for the Emberstone, an item the King has tasked players with finding. Play is available alone or with friends, and creatures beneath the mountains can be fought during exploration. Building can extend upward or underground as the factory and fortress grow.
