BORE

0 in Group Chat

Crew THE MULE, a colossal drilling machine, with up to three friends and descend into the whispering earth. Man the instruments, sortie into the dark for the specimens the Bureau wants, and shut the door before what heard you gets inside. Sell. Descend deeper. Try to come back up.

CREWING THE MULE: dividing four pairs of hands

Who stands where, what each job actually does, and the argument every crew has at the bottom of a dive. For crews who have done a dive and want to stop tripping over each other.

NOTICE TO NEW VOLUNTEERS: your first descent

Everything a first-time crewman needs: the loop, the controls, and the three rules that decide whether you come back up. No spoilers past the first stratum.

KNOWN ISSUES: read before reporting

KNOWN ISSUES: v0.6.10 Current as of 08/13/2026. If your problem is not here, please file it. The pinned incident-report thread has the format. BY DESIGN. Not bugs, and not going to change. You can only join a crew between dives. Joining players arrive at the surface depot, and nobody enters a dig in progress. Everyone must run the same build. The server browser marks mismatched crews. Your teammates can hear you, and so can other things. Proximity voice...

FAQ: the questions we expect

FREQUENTLY ASKED Can I play solo? Yes. The machine's governor crews the stations nobody is standing at. It is a lonelier game and a harder one, and it is fully supported. Is there matchmaking? No. Steam friend invites, a server browser, or a direct connection. Crew-finding lives in the pinned thread and in the Discord's voice rooms. Can someone join a dive already in progress? They join at the surface depot, between dives. Nobody drops into a live dig. Come up, take them ab...

THE REQUISITION DESK: suggestions and requests

THE REQUISITION DESK One idea per post. Search first. A second thread for the same request splits the evidence instead of doubling it. Say what problem it solves, not only the feature. "Let me mark the way back" is a requisition. "Add a minimap" is a solution to a problem you have not described yet, and it may not be the one that gets built. What the Bureau can promise: everything here is read. What it cannot: that any of it ships. BORE is a small game with a hard bo...

INCIDENT REPORTS: how to file a bug that actually gets fixed

FILE AN INCIDENT REPORT NOTHING IS WASTED. Every report is read. Reports in this shape get fixed first. ONE INCIDENT PER POST. Title short and specific. "client can't grab the winch lever after a re-dive" beats "co-op broken". Include: Build version: bottom-left of the main menu, e.g. v Solo or co-op: and if co-op, were you the host or a joining player? This one line saves days What happened against what you expected ...

LOOKING FOR CREW: post your region and your hours

FOUR SOULS TO A MULE BORE has no matchmaking. You crew up the honest way: invite Steam friends, browse the server list, or connect direct. If you are short, post here. A useful post looks like this: Region / timezone: EU-West, UTC+1 Hours: most evenings after 20:00, weekends open Mic: yes or no. Both are fine, see below State: never descended / knows the machine / will operate the door Two things worth knowing before you knock on s...
