A 3D strategy / action game featuring scaling and rotating polygon graphics, Driller features 18 different areas to explore, each with its own unique laws of physics and logic, and a number of secret rooms and hidden levels to discover. The player is an exile, Lesleigh Skerrit, who was falsely accused of murder. Mitral - a moon of the planet Evath - has become unstable, and a dangerous gas buildup threatens to cause an explosion that will destroy Mitral and devastate Evath. Lesleigh has an opportunity to redeem himself and become an Elite in the Driller Federation by piloting an excavation probe "Last Hope" and placing eighteen drilling rigs in various sectors of Mitral to avert the imminent disaster. In each sector, Lesleigh must locate the build-up area, then drill to vent the gas into space.
