OIL & HORROR

Oil prospecting strategy

OIL & HORROR is a survival strategy game for PC about drilling for oil in a frozen Arctic wasteland. You choose a sector and spend money and fuel to drill deeper, hoping to find a gusher. Each depth level costs more resources, so you have to decide whether to keep drilling or abandon a hole before it leaves you broke. Dry holes can ruin a run; a successful strike can make you a millionaire.

Threats on the ice

The wasteland is full of hazards. Ice spikes can erupt without warning, and clouds of lethal spores drift from alien bugs. Enemies include mutant slugs called Dedites, giant mutant spiders, undead razorback boars, rotting polar bears and a Warlok. Attacks can end a run in seconds, adding pressure to the decision of how long to spend drilling and when to move on.
