About this game

Dig Deep. Drink Beer. Unearth Dwarven Secrets.

You’re a dwarf. You dig holes. That’s your job.

In Only DWARVES DIG Proper HOLES, hold onto your beard and grab your shovel—there’s endless ground beneath your feet and no good reason to stop digging.

What's down there? Maybe treasure. Maybe doom. Probably both. Legend speaks of a mighty dwarf buried deep underground with his legendary pickaxe. Your companions found the tomb's location, but getting there is your task. You've got a shovel, climbing skills, a trusty grappling hook, and the occasional terrifying drop if you accidentally dig the cave ceiling. You can buy lights at the store, and you do have help—but only when it comes to drinking beer. No plan though. So, what are you waiting for?

Forget the usual heroic quests. There's no world-saving, no epic battles—just you, the earth, and the creeping suspicion that things are getting... weird.

FAQs

Is my headset supported?

  • Probably! It was developed for Quest 3, Quest 2, and Bigscreen, although we tried to support all headsets. In the worst case, you can always request a refund!

Do you have a press kit?

  • Yes, you can find all of the assets on the game’s website (see the link on the right).

Did you find the ever-flowing beer river?

  • We refuse to answer this.

What songs are best for whistling while digging?

  • Dwarven songs, obviously!

I'm an influencer—is this game easy to stream and record?

  • Absolutely! We've included camera smoothing specifically for the 2D recorded view, making it ideal for streaming and perfect for speedrunners too!

Will I experience motion sickness?

  • This game is not the safest for motion sickness, as it involves walking, climbing, falling, and grappling. We consider its motion sickness level moderate.
