The goal of a miner in Keep Digging is to descend 1000 meters through 10 different underground layers. Solo players or teams of up to 8 players team up to mine for ore, treasure, and forgotten technology. The gameplay is entirely focused on excavation, with no combat mechanics. Players focus on inventory management and coordinating efforts to reach greater depths. This shared goal encourages teamwork and discovery in a procedurally generated world designed for repeated exploration.
