Expedition support

Stand beneath or beside the bubble and dig a vertical shaft directly above it. Every solid piece of soil in its upward path must be cleared. The bubble resumes rising as soon as the obstruction is gone. If the countdown runs out, the creature escapes and recovers briefly before pursuing again.

Expose both cyan nodes and connect them with an excavated tunnel. Lure a creature into the linked capture corridor. The Action button changes to Launch trap when you can capture it. Traps recharge after use.

Collect the violet relic with Action and send the required number of creatures to the surface. The pod lights up when both objectives are complete. Return to it and use Action again.

When there is no relic, trap or extraction action available, Action emits a short-range pulse. It stuns nearby creatures briefly, giving you room to move. It does not kill or capture them, and it has a cooldown.

Open Settings from the title screen or pause menu. Relaxed difficulty slows creatures and lengthens rescue windows. Music and sound have separate volume controls. Reduced Motion limits decorative movement and particles.

Progress and settings are saved on this device. Browser progress uses local storage and is separate from the iOS app. Clearing browser data or using another browser may remove or separate that progress. Private browsing may limit saving. An interrupted expedition can be continued from the title screen.

Browse this site in either orientation. For the game, turn your device sideways for larger characters and controls. Fullscreen is available only where your browser supports it. Tap the directional buttons to move, or hold them to keep digging.
