OREBOUND

OREBOUND is a Playdate space-mining game about working off a huge company debt.

You start as a contractor for Vanta Extraction with a ship, a loan you never really agreed to, and access to the outer belt. Each shift you fly out, scan asteroids, mine raw ore, refine it into more valuable material, sell what you can, and slowly pay down what you owe.

Mine, refine, buy your freedom.

The current build is focused on the loop: take a contract, head into the belt, identify useful rock, bring ore back, and turn each shift into progress against the debt.

Debt loop

Vanta Extraction

The debt is not just a number on the menu. It is the pressure behind every contract, upgrade choice, and risky mining run.

Mining shifts

Outer belt work

Asteroids are scanned and mined for raw ore, then refined into more valuable material before sale.
