What Texplore is

Texplore is an adventure game developed by Dustin Garner and released in 2026. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only. It runs on Godot Engine.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Texplore is a roguelite digging-and-combat game where every run challenges you to go deeper. Drill through a collapsing Earth, fight what lives below, haul valuables back to the surface, and spend your winnings to push farther next attempt—until you can build the rocket and escape to a harsher world. Each run is a fast loop of descend → mine & fight → cash out → upgrade → dive again, with risky choices that can supercharge you or end the run early.
