DIG Raiders: Anomaly Extraction - Major Demo Update!

Hello, contractors!
DIG Raiders has just received a major Demo update. After going through Steam Next Fest and gathering tons of player feedback, we gave the PvE mode a complete overhaul — it has now been renamed Story Mode, and the amount of new content and improvements is, frankly, night and day.
Heres what weve added:
🎭 Player Identity & Story
- New player backstory: you are a mining contractor buried in debt, forced to sell whatever you dig up underground to pay it off
- New opening cinematic
- New bankruptcy mechanic (if you go bankrupt... theres a little surprise waiting for you)
🎯 Core Objective
- New collectible goal: Divine Sigil Fragments — dig through the depths to find them all
🏪 New Shop Systems
- Military Shop — gear and supplies
- Auction House — buy and sell
- Anomalous Souvenir Shop (the name says "souvenirs," but the goods... lets just say they have an extraterrestrial vibe)
🏗️ Gameplay Expansions
- Persistent building system — thats right, you can farm now
- New inventory system with a variety of useful items
- New first-person mode
All of the above is available right now in the Demo — no need to wait for the full release.
Stay tuned for even bigger level redesigns coming soon!
