Desert Diggers — press kit

Description

A whole Egyptian city is buried under the sand. You and up to 7 friends have shovels, a rusty conveyor belt and three sticks of dynamite. What could possibly go wrong?

Desert Diggers is a co-op comedy about archaeologists who are much better at digging holes than at not falling into them. Every grain of sand is real: dig it, haul it, dump it, blow it up, or pour it on top of your best friend. Then carry a priceless 3,000-year-old vase back to camp. Carefully. Together. Please.

Clear the city street by street, sell the loot at the pawn shop or donate it to your camp museum, lay conveyor belts and descend into the sealed tomb of the vizier. The end-of-day awards will remember who the Gravedigger was.

RedRock Games

RedRock Games is a small independent team. We make games where the player has few resources, little time and a lot of decisions — each one with consequences.

We are not interested in difficulty for its own sake, but in fairness: when you fail, you know exactly where you went wrong. Realistic physics, sound that gives you away, and a world that runs on its own rules instead of playing along.

We self-publish. Every project ships in several languages at once — English, Russian, German, French and Chinese — because our players live everywhere.
