What Is This Game About Digging a Hole?
If you’ve ever dreamed of a video game where the primary objective is to dig a hole, you’re in luck! Coming out next year, A Game About Digging a Hole is making the concept crystal clear—yes, it’s literally about digging a hole. Players will venture into their virtual backyards with an ambition to unearth treasures and ores, all while finding ways to make this digging venture more efficient.
Gameplay: Dig, Sell, Repeat!
The mechanics of the game are deceptively simple yet delightfully engaging. As you dig and discover shiny artifacts, the profit you generate from selling these finds allows you to purchase upgrades that make digging more effective. It’s the cycle of excavation; dig, sell, and dig some more. Imagine an endless quest for riches buried beneath your lawn, where your only limitation is your willingness to keep going deeper.
Who’s Behind This Ingenious Concept?
Developed in a whirlwind two-week timeframe by Cyberwave in Unreal Engine 5, it seems they were not holding back on creativity—though the game’s title gives you a pretty solid clue about what to expect. While some might argue about the depth (pun intended) of the narrative, the developers assure players that every hole revealed will spark immense joy… or at least the joy of material gains!
A Game About Digging a Hole is set to launch alongside another ambitious title, Solarpunk, in 2025. Although a price hasn’t been officially announced, the Steam page teasingly claims it will be the price of a coffee but promises far more engaging hours of fun!
