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.

I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole!
Hella fun! 3.7 hours to get to the end game, which is far more than just a hole in the ground. Great progression! Looks and works great on a vive pro 2 with wand controllers. I played it nothing like a "clicker," I'm not sure it should have that tag.
No wreszcie się dokopałem do kilofa. Gra jest prosta i przyjemna. Na moich googlach Quest 3 chodzi płynnie bez zacięć. Parę razy zbłądziłem, ale kopałem w innym miejscy i ostatecznie dokopałem się do kilofa. Cóż brak specialnych wskazówek, ale wystarczy kopać w dół. Sama mechanika kopania daje satysfakcje. Jednak kopiąc w dół szybko maksuje się postać. Grałem po polsku. Napisy na szpadlu lub przy smoku się nie pojawiały. To jedyna wada jaką widzę. Ogólna ocena 7/10
this game is very fun, developer took time to discuss a bug i was having and worked very hard to fix the problem i had, in just a few days the developer was able to fix the issue and i was able to play the game!! Now to Keep digging!!!
Edit: Motion control issue is fixed, but besides being a dwarf, and some small tid bits of lore, the game doesn't have a lot of personality to sperate it from other digging games. I was sent a free copy of this game through KeyMailer. And I have to say. in its current state I can't recommend it. there is a movement glitch with smooth turning that make its like your swinging open like a gate or door rather then turning in place. Additionally, it feels like another clone of games that already do this same concept, but butter. Fix the movement and give it some kind of personality, customizable dwarf, multiplayer, something of substance. and I could change my mind, but as it stands now, when I have over 10k+ hours in VR and I get motion sick and can't even give my normal 2 hour playtime review cause I'm about to be sick its and issue. Love the narration at the start though that was funny.
Molto carino! vale pienamente i sui soldi per passarsi qualche ora
Najlepszy Symulator Maltretowania Prawej Ręki :D ,serio po zagraniu ponad półtora godziny bicek mnie bardziej napiernicza niż przez cały dzień pracy ,myślę że po miesiącu grania miał bym bica jak rasowy kulturysta i się tłumaczył czemu moja prawa ręka jest o wiele bardziej umięśniona od lewej XD. Jest to prosta gra o zbieraniu hajsu oraz ulepszania naszego krasnala podczas kopania dziury ,czysty grind ,piwo to nasza stamina a jak braknie % w naszej krwi to się przekręcamy z trzeźwości :D Idealna giera żeby odpalić jakiś hardcorowy energetyczny bit w tle i napierniczać łopatą. Fajna gierka do luźnego popykania na vr ,dobra dla każdego ponieważ nada się dla kogoś kto się chce wyżyć jak i kogoś nowego na vr. Link Do mojego Gameplay z Liva : https://youtu.be/JMO1eje0b1w
I am Dwarf and i diggy diggy hole
Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass Dreck schaufeln so viel Spaß macht! 😂 „Only Dwarves Dig Proper Holes“ überrascht mit simplem, aber süchtig machendem Gameplay. Graben, klettern, looten und Bier trinken – mehr braucht ein echter Zwerg nicht! 🍺 Charmanter Humor, stimmige Optik und ein fairer Preis machen das Spiel zu einem kleinen Geheimtipp für zwergische Feierabende. Meinen Ersteindruck in Bild und Ton dazu findet ihr hier: https://youtu.be/RIPLUn-tVeM
