Project Dig

The dog knows something.

Cleatus has a rent notice in one hand and a rusty shovel in the other. His dog won't stop barking at one spot in the backyard, so... fine. FINE. He'll dig.

Dig down through the yard one shovelful at a time. The ground caves in where you dig, and the hole you make is the hole you climb down. Sell everything you find to That One Guy next door (he buys anything, no questions asked), spend the money on better gear, pay the rent through the slit in the fence, and keep going.

The deeper you dig, the older and weirder the yard gets: bottle caps and a long-lost TV remote, then horseshoes and old coins, fossils, a 1950s time capsule... and somewhere far below, something is barking back.

- About 30 minutes long
- No timer, no fail state. Just you, a shovel and a good dog
- Pet the dog (F). You should pet the dog.
- Keyboard and mouse, or controller
