A Game About Digging A Hole is now available for Windows on Steam. Folks apparently dig this already, as it's presented as a "viral gaming sensation" after prerelease videos racked up over 20 million views on the socials. The idea may be hard to grasp, but A Game About Digging A Hole is a game about digging a hole. This is shown off in the release trailer, which reveals your task does not involve concerns about gravity or where to put dirt, just digging. If we haven't captured the its essence properly, here's the official description of the game and its extensive development cycle:

A Game About Digging A Hole was conceived by a solo artist from Cyberwave (developer of the upcoming Solarpunk) while testing mechanics for terraforming and digging. Although too complex for such a small team, the core mechanics were already functional so the artist had the idea of combining these mechanics with randomly spawning ores and shovel upgrade options. This led to the quick development of a 3D digging minigame, built on a proven concept without requiring lengthy prototypes or testing phases. Developed during the artist's vacation and saving development time by using licensed assets, A Game About Digging A Hole was developed in just 14 days.
