In iDigging, a broke protagonist sets out to reclaim his standing by searching beneath his home for buried treasure, despite a law forbidding private digging. Its bright, stylized look contrasts with the risks of the scheme: a watchful neighbor may report suspicious activity, while police inspections can expose the holes in your yard.
Digging is the central loop, but what turns it into a balancing act is the need to profit without getting caught. Players uncover resources and useful goods across layers of soil, sell finds for money, and use the proceeds to improve their house. They can also conceal excavation traces with camouflage carpets, upgrade from basic shovels and pickaxes toward drills or dynamite, and explore underground caves for further resources and challenges. The neighbor adds a persistent threat, with dogs, bombs, and other defenses among the stated ways to protect your territory.
The store description identifies iDigging as a cooperative game for up to five people, alongside single-player and online and LAN co-op categories.
