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.

Just finished the game. It took me about 10h. Haven’t found the last role. Much more fun to dig, when you have all the upgrades. Digging goes so fast then.
⭐ Review: Only Dwarves Dig Proper Holes Rating: 4/5 – A charming, satisfying dig‑’em‑up with room to grow Only Dwarves Dig Proper Holes is one of those games that knows exactly what it wants to be—and absolutely nails it. The digging mechanics are the standout feature: responsive, weighty, and surprisingly addictive. Every swing feels like it matters, and the terrain reacts in a way that makes tunneling downward genuinely satisfying. The graphics are another pleasant surprise. There’s a warm, earthy charm to the art style that fits the dwarven theme perfectly. Environments are clean, readable, and full of personality without ever becoming visually cluttered. Progression is where the game really shines. Loot feel's rewarding, upgrades come at a steady pace, and there’s a clear sense of becoming a more capable miner as you go. It hits that cozy loop of “just one more dig” extremely well. If there’s one area where the game could dig a little deeper, it’s late‑game content. By the end, I found myself sitting on a mountain of spare gold with not much left to spend it on. A few more upgrades, cosmetic unlocks, or high‑tier challenges would go a long way toward extending the experience. Still, what’s here is genuinely fun. It’s polished, satisfying, and full of dwarven charm. If you enjoy progression‑based digging games, this one is absolutely worth your time.
VirtualDesktop+Quest3でプレイ [h1]シャベル片手に地面を掘り進め![/h1] シャベルを使って土を掘り、埋まっているアイテムを集めてお金を稼いでアップグレードをしながら伝説のつるはしを見つけるためにどんどん地下へ潜っていくアクションゲームです。 アップグレードでどんどん楽に掘れるようになっていくのでついつい掘り続けてしまいます。 1点だけ注意があって、日本語対応となっていますが翻訳がずれているのかよく分からないことになっているので英語に切り替えるのが必須です。 [h2]プレイの快適さ[/h2] 縦の移動は壁を掴んで移動して、横の移動はスティックで移動する形で、自由移動に慣れているのであれば問題ありません。 [h2]ゲーム内容[/h2] シャベルで地面を掘って埋まっているアイテムを集めて換金していき、自分自身をアップグレードしていきます。 掘ったりするとエネルギーが減っていき、0になると集めたアイテムを失ってしまうので帰りの分も考慮する必要があります。 地上の拠点に戻ればエネルギーの回復と換金が自動で行われます。 アップグレードをすることで、掘れる範囲が広がったり、エネルギーが増えたりとどんどん掘りやすくなっていきます。 最終的な目的は伝説のつるはしを見つけることですが、それ以外にもコレクションアイテムを集める要素もあります。 [h2]良かった点[/h2] ・アップグレードでサクサク掘れるようになる ・掘って戻るループをサクサク回せる [h2]気になった点[/h2] ・日本語が機能していないので英語にする必要がある ・実際のシャベルを使うように地面に刺してから振り抜く感じなので最初はサクサク掘れる感覚ではない
