Dig strips the clicker genre down to its bare essence: you press any button to watch your character dig a hole, accompanied by thunderstorm ambiance and brief animations. Rather than chasing achievement numbers, the game seems interested in exploring repetition and futility as themes. It's a short, deliberately minimal experience for players curious about what happens when you remove all the usual progression systems.

An interesting, short game this is that only has one mechanic: click to ensure your protagonist digs a hole. Although the store page refers to it as a clicker game, here achievements are not related to thousands or even millions of clicks and there are no rewards for them, therefore, it is not your usual type of clicker software. After a click a digging animation is being played that lasts for several seconds. Still, if you want, you can use an auto-clicker just to ensure you are done with your playthrough faster and without any hassle.
Dig has an eerie atmosphere: someone digging a hole late at night while it is raining cats and dogs. The monochromatic aesthetic only adds to this feeling. As you progress you are gradually becoming slower - you can see that digging a hole is becoming a chore for our "hero". But what is the purpose here? You'll find out once you finish your first walkthrough. I believe the message is Biblical and it can be summed up by the following proverb: "Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them."
If you have some spare time pick this one up. It is free and easy to complete and get all the 'cheevos. And perhaps it will make you ponder a little about life.
The game looks great,and is soundtracked by the soothing sounds of a severe thunderstorm.
I'm sure the story has deep messages about the fleeting nature of life and death,or the futility of living for meaningless and unfulfilling work,but what I personally took away from this was the fact that I spent over an hour digging a hole in the rain of my own free will.
A truly emotional and eye-opening experience. 10/10 would faceplant into my grave again.
Dark Codex is thrilled to announce the nonexistent release of "dig HD Remaster," the definitive version of the classic game that literally nobody clamoured to see in HD. Because what could be better than revisiting a game that's barely aged, with graphics that don’t need any improvement? dig, a game known for its minimalistic charm, has been 'remastered' in stunning HD. With this release, we promise to deliver exactly the same silhouetted graphics you love, now with an 'HD' tag that changes absolutely nothing about your visual experience! What’s New in the HD Remaster? Sharper Shovel: Experience the thrill of slightly crisper edges! Darker Darkness: Revel in the empty night that looks identical to the original! Why release this remaster? Because if AAA companies can do it, so can we! "dig HD Remaster" is our contribution to the proud tradition of re-releasing games that aren’t even old yet. Enjoy digging into the same game you've always loved, now with a completely unnecessary HD label! Because at Dark Codex, we believe if it ain’t broke, remaster it anyway! Disclaimer: Please note this announcement is satirical. There is no actual "dig HD Remaster". Happy April Fools' Day! PS. Please enjoy this totally unnecessary 4k wallpaper! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41435061/e9b33a6b39d69c60e06591f455c32ca0a90b3328.jpg
We would like to thank everyone who has played dig. We also noticed that we have a lot of players in Japan, so to celebrate we are adding a 5th skin.. the Samurai!
