A whole lot of people picked up a shovel for A Game About Digging A Hole

A Game About Digging A Hole has a very simple idea, everything about it is in the name, and yet it managed to pull a whole lot of people in. As I said in my previous article, it works great with Proton, and really does suck you in to get to the bottom of the hole.

They've announced it crossed over 250,000 sales in the space of a single week. For any smaller developer, that's pretty incredible really. Especially nice for them since it was just a small side-project. Seems we all can't shake that primal urge to dig.

More about it: "A Game About Digging A Hole challenges you to dig a hole in your newly purchased house. On your way down, collect resources to sell and upgrade equipment to dig deeper and take garden excavation to a new level! But beware! With every spadeful you take, you start to uncover a mysterious secret, and the deeper you dig, the closer you get to the truth. But take your time, as there is no rush and no rules. Just you, your spade and a great underground adventure!"

It also has a Very Positive rating on Steam from over 5,000 user reviews. According to their PR team it was a hit across social media too including "over 5 million views on TikTok, 2.2 million views on YouTube Shorts, and a jaw-dropping 14.5 million views on Instagram reels".

Seems they plan some updates to the game with the first now available adding in:

• FOV slider – You can now adjust the field of view.
• Motion blur toggle – Turn it off if you prefer a clearer image.
• Russian & Italian localization fixes.
