The game's premise explicitly treats goblins as expendable labor, a darkly comic framing that sets it apart from other mining survival titles.

BitBorne Studio will release 'Goblin Company,' a co-op mining survival action game for up to four players, on June 13. 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.
The Steam store page for 'Goblin Company' 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.
