Coal LLC from Bye Bye Ocean studio combines elements of roguelike, simulator, and management strategy. The player has to mine more and more coal under corporate pressure: "meet the quota or die". The game offers both a classic time-limited mode and an optional peaceful mode where miners' everyday life becomes less stressful.
At the start, the project received "very positive" ratings, but user opinions were mixed. Some criticize the game for its high price and simple, repetitive gameplay loop. Others, on the contrary, note the addictive pace, satirical tone, and the ability to spend dozens of hours in the game — thanks to procedurally generated maps, staff leveling, and equipment upgrade system.
The game ironically plays on corporate rhetoric and the logic of managed chaos: with each day, the volume of production grows, and the methods become more absurd — from the use of rocket packs to artillery strikes on coal deposits.
The cost of Coal LLC on Steam is 550 rubles. At the start, the project is available with a 10% discount — until September 25, the game can be purchased for 495 rubles. At the time of publication, the rating is 89% based on 111 user reviews.
