Survive the Wasteland in Dead Oil
Moonshine Muffin has announced the full release of Dead Oil, arriving on Steam on October 17, 2025. Set in a harsh post-apocalyptic wasteland, this roguelike survival driller challenges players to defend a massive armored rig while mining deep underground for vital oil and rare metals. Every expedition tests your nerve, forcing a critical choice between drilling deeper for valuable resources or racing back to hold off the next deadly wave of raiders.
Designed for short, intense, and replayable sessions, Dead Oil combines fast-paced real-time combat with strategic resource management. Each run pushes players to balance offense and defense. They can also experiment with new builds and upgrades to survive longer against increasingly brutal enemies.
The combat is fierce and unforgiving. Swarming melee attackers, armored convoys, and heavy artillery await those who dare to dig too deep. Between battles, the rig becomes your lifeline, a place to refine oil, repair damage, and upgrade weapons, armor, and drills. Customizing your loadout with different gadgets and gear unlocks devastating combinations that can turn the tide in later waves.
Procedurally generated challenges and evolving threats ensure that no two runs ever feel the same. As you progress, new unlocks and enhancements keep the loop fresh and rewarding, encouraging players to push their luck again and again.
Blending high-stakes decisions with brutal action and endless replayability, Dead Oil delivers a gripping survival experience where every drop of oil and every second of time counts.
