Core Gameplay Loop

The Spotter: Dig or Die pairs resource extraction with tower-defense nights. Each loop you push deeper for ore and artifacts, then spend the dusk window placing turrets and routing enemies into kill zones. Long-term progression splits across three tech trees so you can specialize as a mobile hunter, a base architect, or a defensive engineer.
