A steampunk idle RPG
A pit full of rusty machines. One steam gauntlet.
Pit No. 7 has been running by itself for a few hundred years. You have a boiler on your back and a steam gauntlet on your arm. Go down and find out what is at the bottom.

01 · Idle
It keeps working when you don't
Mining, salvage and fights carry on while the game is closed. An idle crate fills for up to eight hours and is waiting when you come back. Turn on auto-advance and you push deeper by yourself, online or off.
- Made for a few minutes at a time
02 · Fights
Fights with something to do
Three skills: Steam Burst, Brace and Overdrive. Bosses wind up heavy attacks; cancel them with a well-timed Burst. Every boss has its own trick, from freezing your cooldowns to turning back time.
- Eight areas and 40 clockwork enemies, each with its own animation
03 · Gear
Upgrade the gauntlet
Gear drops in four rarities with random bonuses. Reforge when you hit a wall and come back stronger.
- Swap in better drops as you go deeper
04 · Allies
Recruit the enemies you beat
Beaten machines can join you. One fights at your side and the rest run errands for materials.
- Seven-day check-in, five daily tasks and activity crates
- The Endless Shaft: three timed runs a day

Questions
Before you play
Does the game keep going when it's closed?
Yes. Mining, salvage and fights carry on, and the idle crate fills for up to eight hours. Open the game to collect it.
How do I move my progress to a new phone?
Your progress is backed up to the cloud under your save code. The code is kept in your iCloud Keychain, so on a new iPhone with the same Apple Account it may be found automatically. If not, enter your save code in the game.
What data does Sootfist collect?
Your game progress, stored under a random 24-character save code, and usage events such as finishing the tutorial or beating a boss, with basic device information. None of it is linked to your name, email or Apple ID, and the advertising identifier is not collected.
