About The Hole Story
The Negatives, Girls Make Games class of 2014Story:
When an unsuspecting young girl finds herself transported to a mystical world, she must rely on her trusty shovel and quick wits to find her way home.
After digging up a strange portal in her backyard, budding young archaeologist Wendy falls through time into a strange new land. She quickly discovers that her best chance of returning home is to rescue Alonna, a princess who has gone missing from the kingdom. Her goal in mind, Wendy sets about resolving the problem the best way she knows how – by digging of course!
Features:
The Hole Story is a top-down RPG fantasy adventure created by a talented group of young female designers. Players solve puzzles by exploring the world and digging up clues in order to move on. As you progress through 15 increasingly difficult challenges, you’ll meet a host of humorous characters, unlock secret levels, and earn experience that can be put towards player customization and gear upgrades. Furthermore, clue and item locations are entirely randomized, so no two experiences will ever feel the same!

https://youtu.be/KIzzXdAgrDs While it is clear this was a small team of new developers it's hard to recommend the game for issues around the controls, pacing, and overall focus.8 found this helpful
Finally got round to playing this after backing it on KS. A fun little game made by some talented young minds.3 found this helpful
My daughter loves this game.2 found this helpful
This game is truly PUNDERFUL
This game is truly life changing and i'm so glad I bought this triple A title. The stealth mechanics are like no other game, it tests your skill level at about every checkpoint. My only issues with the game is that it requires a higher end device than what most steam users are currently running, plus, there's a lack of sex scenes too, which imo, really takes away the "mature" part of the experience. Overall, by my long play hours, it's not the worst gaming experience i've had, however, I don't recommend it for the large price of £3.99.
That ending sure... happened to me. I thought I messed up, but nope, that's just how it ended!
