Online only?
According to the product info CastleMiner Z "is an online coop survival horror game in a block based environment." That to me implies it's multiplayer only. Yet the info box to the side also lists single player.

Can someone confirm if it really can be played in single player with no other human players in the same game? If it's online multiplayer only, then the store page is misleading.

Yes, I'm well aware what the store pages states in the info box. You, on the other hand, do not appear to be aware that there is a long running problem with that info box and indie games. Many have indicated, via that box, that they have single player when in reality, it is either a tutorial level or non-existent.

Lead and Gold for example, used to claim single player despite having no single player mode. As did Tower Wars (which didn't get a proper single player mode until a very long time after release). And many others too. The old forums used to be full of people complaining about this.

Not really no. Single player generally implies that the game can be played offline by yourself. If you're making a game single player by simple limiting the number of available slots on a multiplayer server, that doesn't really change the fact that it's still a multiplayer server.

Is that with an offline mode, or a server setting that takes into account that there is only (intentionally) one player?

I am accually having a problem with the multiplayer. I can not get into the server list because it tells me,"Connecting Please Wait..."
