Description
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.

User Reviews
good game
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.
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?!
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!!!
Very cool game, Simple game-play and easy to ready interface.
Easy to follow tutorial and easy controls.
Will update more once more time is spent
