Minerva, the underground AI: a cracked android face with glowing cyan eyes, cables trailing above her
Minerva Rising first look trailer cover: a mushroom cloud rising over a ruined city

Trailer launching October 13

Build an underground city

The sunlit world has fallen.

Expand deeper, grow production, and maintain trust as you fight to save the last humans on Earth—whether they like it or not. You, their AI, know best.

But when food runs low and the air thickens, it’ll take more than sweet words to keep them from shutting you off for good.

The deeper you dig, the more resources you discover. Create intricate shipping networks that supply your different levels with the essentials to survive.

Your citizens' hope is fragile, their trust even more so. Show them you're worth the power you draw, or silence the dissenters.

Every breath has a cost. Balance air purity, food production, housing, morale, and more as you fight to keep humans alive until the world above is livable once more.

No two playthroughs will be the same. One run might face blight and starvation, another might be low on coal for producing power. Your decisions and the resources you find shape your story.

Support human-made indie art. Minerva Rising is the work of one solo dev, Jonny. With the help of composer Nomé Naku, portrait artist Nate, and a handful of voice actors, this project is about as indie as indie gets.
