Is there a second ending in A Game About Digging A Hole? Many players believe the Teleporter might be the key

by

Over the weekend, I found myself immersed in two highly anticipated games – Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and Civilization 7 – but there was another quirky title that captured a surprising amount of attention: A Game About Digging A Hole. At its zenith, it boasted nearly 7,500 concurrent players on Steam. As simple as the concept is – a humorous game where you dig a hole in pursuit of treasure – curiosity has grown among many who have completed it. The question now on everyone’s lips: does the ending hold a deeper meaning? Is there something more to uncover beneath the surface? Let’s embark on this excavation together and unearth the truth!

A Game About Digging A Hole ending explained

The game is rather brief (approximately 2 hours) yet it initially grabs your attention. You purchase a house supposedly containing hidden treasure, then begin digging with an exploding shovel when its power source fails. Throughout the journey, you discover valuables in ancient, enigmatic mineshafts, come across sacks filled with money, and gather keys for a chest.

Initially, you have to dodge colossal moles to obtain the grand treasure – but alas, it’s hollow. They always take your life, and the house comes back up for sale again. A truck driver with a questionable mole-emblem license plate tallies his ‘victims’. The story concludes there.

Many gamers speculate that there’s a hidden conclusion to the game, with the teleporter potentially being the key. However, I’m sorry to say, it turns out to not be the case.

Although some participants are trying to find a deeper significance, it appears there isn’t much to uncover in this game. Despite its potential for a more immersive backstory, the twist involving feeding the moles feels somewhat incongruous. Including hints about their presence during digging could have made the mystery surrounding them more intriguing and engaging.

Initially, the game’s conclusion is entertaining, but with minimal update options, lacking in sophisticated mining equipment, and a lack of diverse biomes, there’s little incentive to play again – particularly for those aiming to achieve all the accolades.

A common comment in Steam reviews is that it’s desirable to have updates introducing additional content, thereby enriching the game further. Although the price point is relatively low (less than $5), some users believe there isn’t quite enough value for the product provided.

The creators of the current game, known as Cyberwave, have previously developed a smaller title called Balloon Flight and released Hourglass in 2021. At present, they are focusing on a larger survival game titled Solarpunk, which is currently under development. A Game About Digging A Hole serves as a minor side project by an individual developer from the Cyberwave team; it was created during his free time.

Although the game is officially completed, its widespread recognition might prompt the sole developer to reconsider and incorporate fan ideas. However, it’s important to keep in mind that this could simply be my optimistic speculation.
