Overview
Frick Frack is a unique puzzle simulation game that challenges players to confront the consequences of their actions, particularly when it comes to the things they hold dear. You step into the boots of a miner working for a fracking company, tasked with digging wells and extracting oil. The core gameplay loop involves a cycle of 'Frack' – digging tunnels, extracting resources, and earning money – followed by 'Spend,' where you use your hard-earned cash on necessities or to further your operations. However, this seemingly straightforward process has a direct and often detrimental impact on the world around you, forcing a constant struggle for work-life balance.
