Steam Store description

You’re a Spotter the unlucky soul stationed at the worst gas station in Nevada. Your mission: hold the line against mutant hordes spilling from the ruins of Las Veganos, while awaiting a message from the President himself. But when a colossal sandstorm wrecks the base and ruins your only receiver, you lose your one chance of contact. Now everything hinges on repairing it in time. Dig by day, fight by night, and reclaim the signal before the world’s last hope is lost. Descend into a mine to scavenge for resources, discover roguelike artifacts that rewrite the rules, and turn your rusty junkyard into an impenetrable fortress in this unique hybrid of digging simulator and Tower Defense. DIG Daylight is your best friend. Fatigue is your worst enemy. The underground is your salvation. Descend into the ground to haul out life-saving resources. Upgrade your rusty shovel into a planet-cracking drill, supercharge your jetpack, and enhance your character and gadgets to brave the post-apocalyptic world. Every expedition is a race against time and a test of your own greed. Spoiler: greed almost always wins. DEFEND Night is when the bill comes due. Hordes of glowing mutants think your gas station is the hottest party spot in town, and you’re the only one not on the guest list. Show them that your door policy is VERY strict. Set up automated machine guns, laser cannons, and rocket launchers. Erect barriers, lay down traps and mines. And when the night hits its climax—jump behind the main turret yourself and personally turn the tide of battle. This is your gas station. Don't let it fa…
