Think & Feel Announces Mining Roguelite 'MINERALS: Deep Core Mining' for 2026

Developer Think & Feel announced MINERALS: Deep Core Mining, a mining roguelite for PC via Steam with Japanese text support, planned for release in 2026. Players explore procedurally generated underground spaces, earning upgrades from pickaxes to giant drills or autonomous drones. A demo will be available during Steam Next Fest starting June 16.

Think & Feel, a studio founded in 2002 that has developed for Game Boy Advance, PSP, home consoles, and smartphones, is bringing its latest title to Steam. MINERALS: Deep Core Mining is a roguelite where players start with a pickaxe and, through level-up upgrades, can scale up to giant drills that clear entire areas or deploy mass-produced drones that turn the game into an idle experience. The loop alternates between mining and preparation phases, with resources spent on skill trees that expand upgrade variety or enable ore refining. A collection of 100 special Fine Minerals offers permanent ability boosts. The game will be demoed at Steam Next Fest beginning June 16.
