Over the weekend, I went out to a bar for a friend’s surprise birthday party. When I greeted him, he told me that the event had interrupted his other plans for the evening: digging a hole.
He went on to tell me about a new $5 Steam game calledA Game About Digging a Hole, in which players dig a hole. I could not tell if he was joking or if this was a real thing that existed.
I laughed it off and went on with the night. Days later, I was so focused on my Steam Deck screen that I missed my subway stop and showed up late to a movie screening.
Recommended Videos A Game About Digging a Hole is one of those games whose appeal is nearly impossible to describe. It’s in the same niche tent as Powerwash Simulator, taking a mundane premise and turning it into something hypnotic.
I don’t even know if it’s something I should be formally recommending, as it’s best discovered by accident and bought on a curious whim.
