You Know The Drill has arrived on Steam as a game focused on incremental mining and constant progression, inviting players to explore underground depths in search of increasingly valuable resources. Developed by the Brazilian studio ludokai and published by Catoptric Games, the title offers a relaxing experience built around gathering ores, upgrading equipment, and enjoying the continuous sense of growth with every new expedition.

The ores discovered throughout each run serve as the foundation of the game's progression system, allowing players to increase their power and reach deeper underground layers. As resources are collected, new upgrades can be unlocked, improving drilling efficiency and paving the way for increasingly profitable discoveries.

The experience also features a customization system centered on equipment upgrades. Throughout the journey, the simple starting drill can be transformed into a powerful mining tool, equipped with a variety of enhancements capable of speeding up resource collection and expanding exploration possibilities.

The game's origins date back to April 2025, when the idea was first conceived during Ludum Dare. The initial version, created in approximately 30 hours for the competition, served as the foundation for the commercial release. Even before the event ended, the developer decided to expand the concept, motivated by the goal of completing and publishing a full project within a relatively short period, regardless of the level of attention it might receive.
