About Return From Core
Return From Core is about an underground survivor searching for a way back to the surface after civilization has been destroyed. You mine resources, explore caverns and human ruins, befriend Monster Girls, build a base and automate production while uncovering the truth behind humanity’s downfall.
Mine and explore
Use a pickaxe to break through rock and collect ores and rare materials for construction, production and equipment upgrades. You can also use explosives to blast entire mineral veins. As you explore the underground world, you encounter dangerous creatures, forgotten technologies and secrets of humanity’s past.
Befriend Monster Girls
The Monster Girls you meet have distinct personalities and unique abilities. Earn their trust to gain combat allies with special skills for exploration. They can also help at your base with farming, cooking, gathering and production.
Build and automate
Create a base by placing workbenches and furniture, and planning areas for living and production. You can defend it against underground creatures and turn a crude cave into a home for you and your companions. Master lost technologies to build machinery and automated production and logistics systems, accelerate your progress and power the super drill for your return to the surface.
