DRILL!
1991. Twelve weeks. One oil company.
Run an oil business from a retro corporate desktop. Drill, trade, answer urgent mail, and decide which market reports to trust.
PUBLIC BETA TEASER
A short introduction to DRILL! — actual gameplay screenshots below.

Your working desktop: switch programs, compare information, and make your own decisions.
Your working day
- DRILL: adjust production and safety budgets across oil-producing regions.
- MARKET: sell inventory, manage cash, and prepare for unpredictable oil prices.
- MAIL, NEWS & FILES: compare conflicting information and handle decisions with lasting consequences.

Balance production against safety, pressure and equipment wear.
Every run changes reserves, pressure, production conditions and market events. War, financial crises, accidents and your own choices can reshape the company.
Discover 101 endings and 54 achievements. Financial success and a clean reputation do not always go together.

Oil becomes cash when you sell it. News gives clues, not guaranteed prices.
Play instantly
Free browser play. English and Korean. Start with the interactive tutorial; mouse controls are recommended on desktop.
Guest records stay in the current tab. Optional Google sign-in stores collected endings and achievements, not your current run.
Public beta & support
This is our first public beta. We plan to expand the game and work toward a full release as the community grows. Feedback and optional donations help us improve scenarios, balance, and presentation.
Supporters who wish to be credited will have their chosen name or nickname included in the full-release credits. Please contact us with the name you would like to use; real names will not be published automatically.
About development
AI assistance was used in parts of development. The overall concept, ideas, balance, and presentation were directed and carefully refined by our team.
