About the game

Walk down to the creek each morning, wash the gravel in your pan and wait for something to glint at the bottom. Sell what you find in a little village, then head home to a room that slowly turns into a warm place to live.

There is no timer, no health bar and no way to lose. Just quiet days, a filling pouch and one big goal to save for.

Video description

A 22 second announcement video with music and no speech. On-screen text: a cozy gold panning game. Pan the river, find gold, break the rocks, follow the beep, rare gems, sell to the jeweler, come home to Pepper, win the auction. It ends on the Golden Pan logo: Coming to Steam, November 9, 2026, Wishlist on Steam.

What you will do

  • Panning you do with your own hands

    Fill the pan, swirl it, tip the water out and watch the light material wash away until gold is left behind.

  • Six regions to work

    A shovel, a pickaxe and a metal detector open new routes, from the first mountain creek to the Old Prospectors’ Camp.

  • More than gold

    Quartz, garnet, zircon, topaz, spinel and sapphire. Sell them by weight, or hold the rare ones for the 23:00 auction.

  • A village and a home

    Six shops, a task board, a room to furnish, a plant to water and a cat or dog you name yourself.

  • A goal worth saving for

    Fill your Finds Journal, earn titles from Novice to Golden Hand, and save up for the Creek Deed.
