Hopelessness by lantto
Corpses from people giving up... Darkness... I don't know how much more I can take. What's hiding beneath the surface?

Got stuck on one of the levels though when it appeared that someone was standing on the stairs and I couldn't go any further. Also really like the corpses left behind, think that is a great touch to see.
I think if you added just one way to.. fail, or die, this could be a really amazing game. Maybe there are trap tiles that cause a bunch to fill back up, and players could mark tiles that are traps?
Really cool, interested to see how far people can go.
Nice job. This is one of the most interesting games I've seen :)
kind of odd to see corpses moving around though, not sure if that was a bug. I assumed other people would look like you.
(It's a sign that your game is awesome.)
I like the music, but I'm not sure if it fits the idea of hopelessness or not. I also like the fact that you can play until you are tired of it. That fits really well with the title, and subverts the expectation that you'll run out of stamina or something and die if you dig long enough.

I also didn't notice until restarting from the top and looking at the screenshots that the unexplored dirt zones started at yellow and gradually are approaching black. So good.
