About
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.
Dig through immersive VR terrain, discover hidden caves, and manually climb your way back up.
Drink beers to regain energy.
Find story-driven items by following mysterious noises.
Did we mention drinking beers?
Upgrade your tools, including a grappling hook to climb faster, torches to light the way and more.
Approximately 3-5 hours of dwarven adventure and discovery!
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.

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] You can view my gameplay & impressions here: https://youtu.be/cNH_2cCG1UQ This is an easy recommendation from me. The game is budget-priced and is a good deal for what your'e getting. If you enjoyed A Game About Digging a Hole, then I think you will enjoy this VR interpretation as well. There's just something satisfying about digging a hole. Don't worry, the digging here is actually quite easy. You basically just hit the shovel to the ground and it just digs for you. The shovel changes length depending on where you put it. So it's easy on your body, which was my concern as a middle-aged gamer. The grappling hook is also pretty fun to use once you unlock it. Game is running on the Unity Engine. On my RTX 5090, I was getting a steady 90 fps (no surprise there). You do have full locomotion, along with smooth or snap turning. You can play comfortably seated. [b]Rate 7.5/10.[/b] [quote]Please note: I received a free Steam key through the Steam Curator Connect program.

This is one of those games that unless you play it you won't understand how addicting it is. The first concept is straightforward and the mechanics in VR work like you expect. I've already spent a few hours in this game between the demo and the full version and plan to spend some more trying to complete and find all the scrolls. It's a great pickup and play as well. Also it was created by a single developer so show some love to the indie VR developers and add this to your library of VR games.
Really fun and chill game! not much stress, just digging, uncovering gems and other goodies, upgrading your character, and heading deeper to see what's there! I highly recommend!
Ich geb’s zu: Als ich das Spiel gestartet hab, dachte ich erst „Was soll der Quatsch?“ – Grafik irgendwo zwischen „geht so“ und „Quest 1 lässt grüßen“. Aber dann hab ich angefangen zu graben. Und zu graben. Und zu graben. Und nach etwa 20 Minuten war’s passiert: Ich war drin. Voll drin. Wie ein Zwerg auf Koks mit Spitzhacke und Tunnelblick. Das Gameplay ist simpel, aber genau das macht’s gefährlich. Man denkt, man macht nur kurz ein Loch – und plötzlich ist man in einem unterirdischen Labyrinth aus Bier, Geröll und absurden Entscheidungen. Ja, das mit dem Biertrinken ist totaler Unsinn. Aber irgendwie auch verdammt lustig. Es passt zum schrägen Charme des Spiels, das sich selbst nicht zu ernst nimmt. Was mich überrascht hat: Trotz der trashigen Optik und dem seltsamen Humor entwickelt das Spiel eine Sogwirkung. Es ist wie ein digitaler Kartoffelchip – du willst nur einen, aber plötzlich ist die Tüte leer und du bist drei Stunden später immer noch am Buddeln. Fazit: „Only DWARVES DIG Proper HOLES“ ist wie ein schlechter Witz, der so oft erzählt wird, bis er wieder lustig ist. Es ist albern, es ist schräg, und es macht süchtig. Ich liebe es. Punkt.

Hi There I got given this game Thing i have to say it's soo much fun playing it on the VR. If you like digging game's get this one for the VR 10/10 for a digging VR Game
What can I say this game scratches a very odd itch. There is just something about digging a hole and finding stuff that just really does it for me plus the auto dig is awesome and did you know you can hang from the grappling hook to dig out those high up places you missed?!
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole!
