About the game
Dig up your own front yard in first person, alone or with friends, and see what's buried below. Haul your finds up to the yard stall, sell them, buy better tools and dig deeper, through clay, stone and crystal caves, past secret rooms, all the way down to the Core.
- Dig anywhere: the ground really opens up wherever you swing
- Online co-op: dig the same yard together with up to three friends
- Over 190 finds to collect, from common junk to legendary treasure
- 10 tools to unlock, from a rusty shovel to a core drill, and jetpacks to fly back up
- Blast through hard rock with dynamite
- Secret rooms hidden deep underground
- The neighbours: sell them your loot and fill their requests
- Adopt a dog (16 breeds) that digs up treasure with you
- Decorate your yard, paint your house and dress up your digger

About the studio
Salted Caramel Games is Yilmaz Kiymaz, a solo developer in Hamburg, Germany. Loot Hole runs on its own engine: one Rust game core shared by every version of the game.
AI disclosure
As the Steam page says: some 2D art was made with AI image generation and then edited by hand (the key art and store capsules, the logo, the interface's icons, buttons and character portraits, the achievement icons, two ground textures). Parts of the code were written with AI assistance. The 3D models, animations, sounds and music aren't AI-generated, and nothing is generated while the game runs.
