Evaluation

Dig Night launched on December 19, 2024 as a complete narrative RPG. Since release, the developer (INUSHIT) has been actively maintaining the game through a steady stream of bug fix and balance patches, culminating in the most recent update on March 6, 2026. A substantial balance and gameplay update (ver.1.4.0) shipped on August 23, 2025, and a new map feature patch (ver.1.5.0) arrived on December 31, 2025. The developer also released a free standalone Christmas Special short visual novel on December 22, 2025 via itch.io and Booth — a bonus piece of content released externally to celebrate the game's first anniversary, not a Steam DLC or expansion. There are no unreleased DLC entries on the store, no roadmap or announced future content, and no developer statements indicating plans for additional paid or free story content. The game appears to have launched as a finished product and has received ongoing quality-of-life and bug-fix support. The Christmas Special is a self-contained bonus available outside Steam and does not indicate ongoing content development for the main game.

About this game

【Story】

In a world plagued by Schizosoma—a flesh-splitting disease that turns people into ghosts—it's become normal for society to leave the cleanup to professional ghost sweepers.

Ricardo, a washed-up temp cleaner, takes a job scraping ghost flesh off the streets. It’s grim work... but it pays.

【About the Game】

  • Dig Night is an RPG made in RPG Maker VX Ace, blending dark comedy and surreal exploration with retro flavor.

  • A Strange World:

    Welcome to a city where ghostification is just another part of daily life. The atmosphere is both bleak and absurd.

  • Puzzle-Solving & Mental Realms:

    Ghosts linger not just in flesh—but in mind. Solve puzzles and dive into their inner worlds to uncover their pasts.

  • Narrative-Driven:

    The story unfolds through exploration, letting you piece together each ghost’s life—and what remains of it.

  • Retro Vibes:

    Pixel art and classic BGM give it the charm of old-school RPGs, with a gritty twist.

  • Unique Systems:

    Save by smoking cigarettes. Restore health by sleeping. Nothing here works quite like you'd expect.
