Build the battlefield
Every tunnel you dig is a route the monsters can use. Dig smart, then defend it.

Bound
Dig. Defend. Go deeper.
A mining adventure for everyone
The game
Where you dig decides what you defend.
Shaft Bound starts with a pickaxe and a broken old mine, and grows into a huge underground operation full of drills, carts, trains and defenses. Every tunnel you dig can become a path for the creatures below, so where you dig decides what you have to defend. The deeper you go, the stranger it gets, and nobody knows what waits at the bottom.
What you'll do
Dig. Build. Defend.
