'Hole Is Mine,' an incremental adventure game from Incrementalist—the team behind the 'Very Positive' rated space incremental game 'Astro Prospector'—and co-published by SpaceJazz Games, will officially launch on Steam on the 10th.

Players must rescue the villagers, known as 'Minio,' from a massive hole, then train and arm them to explore the depths together. The goal of the game is to lift the curse of the abyss and rebuild their lost home.

In the game, players take on the role of a mysterious, drill-wielding creature answering the call of the abyss. You must dive into the hole, rescue Minio trapped between blocks, and mine resources buried in the rock to bring back to the surface, where you can upgrade your abilities and grow your village. Once awakened, the Minio become reliable allies who automatically begin mining, joining you as you descend deeper to face powerful enemies and uncover the secrets hidden in the abyss.

Resources mined in the hole can be brought back to the surface even after an expedition ends. In the village, you can perform over 200 upgrades and equip the Minio with gear across various body parts. The game features over 20 types of equipment and more than 80 equipment upgrades; from masks and helmets to pickaxes and backpacks, each piece grants the Minio new abilities. Players can create different synergies based on equipment combinations and craft their own builds tailored to their exploration goals.

There is no such thing as total failure in 'Hole Is Mine,' as every trip into the hole yields new resources and growth. While a single upgrade, one level of equipment enhancement, or one newly recruited Minio might seem like a small change, these incremental gains eventually lead to explosive results. The sight of the screen filled with busy Minio and rapidly climbing numbers delivers the core fun of this incremental adventure game. Additionally, players will encounter various enemies and hidden secrets across five distinct zones and 30 total depths. The cute visuals and fast tempo add just the right amount of tension to the relaxing gameplay, creating an addictive experience where small, steady growth leads to massive transformation.

Meanwhile, the developer, Incrementalist, is a three-person indie game team from Spain. They gained acclaim with the 2025 release of their space incremental bullet-hell adventure game 'Astro Prospector,' which has reached approximately 200k cumulative sales on Steam. Console and mobile versions of that title are currently in development.
