Only Dwarves Dig Proper Holes is a premium VR simulation game that blends exploration and sandbox-style elements. Set in a procedurally generated underground world, you play as a curious dwarf on a mission to unearth a legendary pickaxe while uncovering mysteries buried deep beneath the surface.

Digging toward a mythical tool

In Only Dwarves Dig Proper Holes, you step into the boots of a dwarf driven by pride and persistence, descending into an endless cave system to find a mythical pickaxe said to belong to an ancient miner. Along the way, you collect gems, upgrade your gear, and rely on beer for stamina—because even dwarves need a drink break underground.

The gameplay focuses on hands-on digging through procedurally generated tunnels and caverns. With realistic VR physics, each swing and climb feels natural. You’ll rely on grappling hooks, torches, and climbing tools to explore while uncovering strange sounds and hidden items along the way. As this is a VR-based simulation, it requires a VR-compatible headset. Do note, however, that players sensitive to motion may experience mild discomfort during longer exploration sessions.

A lighthearted underground escape

Overall, Only Dwarves Dig Proper Holes offers a lighthearted take on the digging simulation genre. It doesn’t aim for grandeur but focuses on small, grounded pleasures—like uncovering hidden gems or simply surviving underground. While its humor and physics-driven sandbox gameplay shine, it’s best suited for VR players comfortable with exploration in confined virtual spaces.
