If you haven't heard, 'A Game About Digging A Hole' is now officially available on iOS. As the title suggests, your main objective is straightforward: you dig a hole. There's no hidden trick or clever pun here—the game delivers exactly what it promises. You dig, and the simple act itself is satisfying.
Pre-orders began a couple of weeks ago, but with the full release, you can now start your excavation adventure. One of the game's best features is that you can progress entirely at your own speed. As you dig deeper, you'll discover various trinkets and collectibles, along with a few secrets buried beneath the surface. Gather your loot, sell what you find, upgrade your tools, and then continue digging.
If you're expecting a surprising twist, there isn't one—and that's part of the appeal. The game embraces its core gameplay loop, which is both engaging and oddly beautiful. There is, however, a small mystery to explore: you can purchase an inexpensive house that reportedly has hidden treasure in its backyard.
What you do with that clue is entirely your choice—though I imagine you'll be eager to start digging, just like I was.
If you find the idea of repetitive digging to be oddly calming, you might also enjoy checking out our roundup of the most relaxing games on iOS.
This charming, simple way to pass the time is available as a premium one-time purchase for $4.99 or your regional equivalent.
