Oreflow

Oreflow is a calm single-player automation game about bringing an abandoned mine back to life. Swing a pickaxe, mine your first ore by hand, and grow a handful of cramped chambers into a humming, flowing production line, while a quiet mystery from your own past waits at the bottom of the shaft.
Mine and build
Start with nothing but a pickaxe and a headlamp. Break copper out of the rock, haul it to the dock, and earn your first blueprints. Then place drills straight onto ore veins, drag conveyor belts across the cave floor, and let the machines do the digging for you. Everything you build is made from materials you gather yourself: there is no money, no shop, and no shortcut.
Automate and optimize
Chain drills, crushers, presses and assembly tables into production lines that fit the tight, winding cave. Merge and split belts, add storage containers, and upgrade machines in place. Every machine tells you exactly why it has stopped (empty input, full output, blocked belt), so every jam is a puzzle you can read, understand and fix. Nothing is ever lost, and nothing punishes you for rebuilding.
Deliver contracts, answer the town
A mining corporation owns the equipment and hands out contracts. Deliver the ore, ingots and parts they ask for, and they send prototypes and blueprints in return. But up the old city lift, Miron, the retired caretaker, has requests of his own. Every delivery opens something new: a recipe, a machine, a blocked tunnel, a clue.
Find out what happened
Your father was an engineer in this mine. Then it closed, and he left without a word. Old company numbers on forgotten equipment, a blueprint signed in a familiar hand, a damaged logbook that stops mid-sentence... Piece the story together at your own pace, and in the end decide who deserves to hear it.
A cave that comes back to life
At first the mine is dark and silent. With every contract you complete, lamps flicker on, old machinery starts to hum, steam rises from the pipes, and warm light spreads through chambers that have been dead for years. Rebuild the deep lift, and ride it down to wherever the answers are.
Features
From pickaxe to full automation. Start by mining by hand, then build drills, belts, crushers, presses and assembly tables.

Readable logistics. Every stalled machine shows a clear reason, and every belt shows where your resources are going.

Calm by design. No combat, no timers, no money. Experiment, rebuild and enjoy a system you made yourself.

Contracts with consequences. Serve the corporation, help the town, or do both, and unlock new blueprints along the way.

A story told through the world. Notes, photographs, old numbers and radio calls reveal what really happened in the mine.

An atmospheric cave. Lamp-lit chambers, hand-painted details and a soundscape that grows warmer as your factory comes to life.

A big goal in sight. The deep lift stands in the dark from the very beginning. Restore it module by module.
