Diggin Launches on Steam: Doug's Underground Crater Adventure Begins
Longshot Studio has released Diggin on Steam, marking the full debut of a mining game built around a single central conceit: a mysterious meteor crater and the secrets buried inside it.
Players take on the role of Doug, who starts with a small drill and works downward through ore deposits, collecting materials to fund upgrades and new equipment. The crater itself transforms as digging progresses — a structural loop that ties exploration to visible environmental change.
What's in the game
- A giant skill tree for unlocking upgrades
- Collectible ores, artifacts, and equipment
- A crater that changes shape as you dig deeper
- An overarching mystery centered on an ancient mole tribe
Longshot notes that community participation — wishlisting, demo play, bug reports, and shared posts — directly influenced the final shape of the game. The studio says it will be monitoring Steam Discussions and a Discord channel closely during the launch period for issues.
For players who followed Diggin through its demo phase, the full release opens the complete depth of the crater that the preview only hinted at.
