About Keep Digging
Keep Digging is a chill co-op mining game developed by Wild Dog that launched September 11, 2025, on PC. It slots into adventure, indie, and simulator genres but plays like a stripped-down dig-for-fun simulator. The premise is simple: you and up to three friends dig downward, collect minerals, sell them, and buy better tools to dig deeper. There’s no story, no enemies, no urgency, just the repetitive thrill of unearthing resources. It’s the digital equivalent of a stress ball for players who love the slow grind of resource management without the overhead of complex systems.
Gameplay
Your minute-to-minute routine revolves around drilling, switching between tools, and hauling loot to the surface. Early on, you use a basic pickaxe to chip away at soft rock, but as you hit harder strata, you’ll need a jackhammer. Multiplayer adds coordination: one player can clear debris while another upgrades the drill. There’s no inventory management, just toss resources into a shared conveyor belt. The real challenge is balancing tool wear; overuse breaks equipment, forcing you to pause and repair. Sessions typically last 30, 60 minutes, with progression measured in meters dug and currency earned. The lack of combat means you can focus entirely on efficiency, making every upgrade feel earned.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate Keep Digging 8.2/10, with critics averaging 79%. 62% of players complete the base goal of reaching 10,000 meters, and average playtime clocks in at 18 hours. Community moods are split: 71% call it “relaxing,” while 29% find it “tedious.” One user wrote, “The simplicity is a breath of fresh air,” while another griped, “Digging for 10 hours without a break is too much.” It costs $19.99, with 50 achievements (30% completion rate). The game lacks post-launch content, but its low price and co-op focus keep it in the top 15% of our most replayed indie titles.
PlayPile's Take
Keep Digging is a niche win for casual co-op fans who enjoy slow, tactile progress. At $20, it’s a low-risk purchase for players who don’t mind repetitive loops. The 50 achievements add minor replayability, but don’t expect story or depth. Skip if you crave action or variety, this is a game about digging, and nothing more. For 2, 4 friends with 20 bucks and an hour to waste, it’s a satisfying way to unwind. Not a classic, but it does one thing very, very well.
