US Steam price, checked 4 h ago
A short, charming digging incremental with funny political-animal story, cute pixel art and good pacing. Skip it if you want a long game or hate story-driven politics; the last act runs out of upgrades.
Great for
Incremental fans who want a short, funny, story-rich game with cute pixel art, and Digseum fans
Main risk
Act 3 runs out of upgrades and slows to a crawl, and the whole game is only about 3-4 hours.

“Incremental clicker games usually don't aim to have style, charm, funny moments, a story that provokes some thought... Big Dig has all of those things.”
