If you haven't heard, A Game About Digging A Hole has officially released on iOS, challenging you with – as the name suggests – digging a hole. There's no complex twist or clever wordplay here; the concept is exactly what it sounds like. You dig a hole, and everything is right with the world.
Pre-orders started a couple of weeks back, but with the game now live, you can finally begin your excavation adventure – and the best part is that you can take it completely at your own speed. As you dig deeper, you'll discover an assortment of trinkets and loot, along with a few secrets that might reveal themselves the further down you go. Collect your treasures, sell what you find, and upgrade your equipment – then head back and keep on digging.
If you're expecting some kind of unconventional hook, it looks like there isn't one – you simply experience the core gameplay loop in all its satisfying simplicity, and that's where its charm lies. That said, there is a small mystery to explore – specifically, an affordable house you can purchase that happens to hide buried treasure right in the backyard.
What you do with that knowledge is completely your call – though I imagine you'll be just as eager to start digging as I was.

In any case, this delightful and straightforward time-passer is available as a premium title for $4.99 (or your regional equivalent).
