We dug into the secrets deep below our new home in A GAME ABOUT DIGGING A HOLE
Things that dig up backyards: moles, dogs, and now, me, with my brand new obsession, A GAME ABOUT DIGGING A HOLE.
Through this game I learned something important about myself - inside me, there are two wolves.
One of them loves to romanticise tedium.
The other wants to be in a hole that is five times my height.
This game gives both of those wolves a soft pet on the head and a treat for being good.
The game begins with a cut scene where you buy a house exclusively for the treasure advertised in the backyard, and then it’s time.
Digging time.
You dig a hole, collecting ores as you go which you can sell online to get new upgrades for your shovel, inventory and jetpack. With greater upgrades you can, you guessed it, dig a bigger hole.
Further progression through the game sees you finding bags of money, mineshafts with chests of goodies, moles and mysterious keys to add to replayability, the underground randomises every new game, and the ability to get achievements only unlocks once you have completed the game once.
But does this game hole-d a dark secret? Who put this treasure under the garden? Will I ever get to enter my own house? Where can I find a house for only $10,000? All these, and more, answered at the bottom of the hole.
A Game About Digging A Hole is a casual, chill game that has me itching to go out to Bunnings just to see if my garden has secret mole treasure.
Not only do I highly recommend it, I can almost guarantee that I am playing it right now and at all times otherwise.
Get digging, folks, and I’ll see you in the holes.
