Line & Lode

Mining below Rustwater

Line & Lode is a single-player mining game for PC, set beneath Rustwater. You cast a swinging claw into claims, adjust reel force, and haul treasure and oddities to the surface. Each claim has a quota to meet before the bell; anything left behind stays there when you descend to the next pocket.

Hauling and hazards

Heavy loads strain the chain, while braced ore requires you to hold the marked force band to release it. Fragile and volatile finds call for careful hauling. Regional hazards change the risks on each expedition, and five route types offer different risks and rewards.
