The game is set in an underground mine where danger increases with depth. Players take the role of disposable goblin miners hired by the mining company WHAAG MINING INC. The stated goal is to obtain a legendary giant crystal sleeping deep underground. Goblins use laser drills to dig through destructible walls and caves, fight monsters, and haul resources. Because each goblin has limited carrying capacity, players must build railroad tracks for minecarts to transport minerals efficiently. Resources mined can be used to upgrade lasers, improve abilities, and unlock tools. The game supports offline solo play and online co-op for up to four players.","whyItMatters":"The game's premise explicitly treats goblins as expendable labor, a darkly comic framing that sets it apart from other mining survival titles.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Steam store page for \u0026#39;Goblin Company\u0026#39; bluntly tells players that goblin miners are replaceable, a tone that carries through the entire game. Players descend with a laser drill and must balance digging, combat, and logistics. The minecart track system forces players to plan routes to maximize efficiency, adding a strategic layer to the survival loop. A demo has been available, showing features like changing goblin appearance and unlocking new equipment with mined resources. The game also displays unique illustrations during loading screens. BitBorne Studio has not announced a price or any post-launch content plans.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Goblin Company frames disposability as a game mechanic: the company tells you replacements exist if you die, and the entire loop depends on treating goblins as expendable labor.","twitterPost":"Goblin Company treats goblin death as a feature, not a failure. The company line is 'replacements exist.' That frames the whole loop.","threadsPost":"Goblin Company makes disposability explicit: the mining company tells players 'replacements exist if you die.' That is not flavor text. It is the core loop. You build rail, haul ore, die, respawn, repeat. The satire is in the structure, not the dialogue.","newsletterBlurb":"BitBorne Studio's Goblin Company, a co-op mining survival game with a darkly comic premise about expendable goblin labor, launches June 13.
