Steam continues to be a go-to source for co-op games, as new titles to play with one’s friend group get announced each and every day. Simple-yet-addictive friendslop games have become increasingly common, as have co-op horror games like Phasmophobia and Lethal Company. Sandboxes are a common avenue for indie developers, too, catering to players who enjoy not knowing exactly what to expect from the gaming session that awaits them. For players who like any of these categories, or happen to be lucky enough to appreciate all three, then the upcoming game Gone Digging is one to wishlist.
Steam's Gone Digging will likely remind players of a handful of franchises almost immediately, such as Minecraft, Deep Rock Galactic, and even Dead Space for those who look closely at the game’s nighttime mechanic. These three titles aren’t the only comparisons one could make. For instance, the character models for the diggers that players control look very much like humans do in ARK: Survival Evolved, but they are perhaps the most meaningful when explaining the game’s moment-to-moment gameplay. While careful miners can avoid the horror entirely, those who fail to satisfy a nightmarish entity will surely be terrified...
