what is Big Dig?

Dig up artifacts to help Mayor Dog build a highway across the Animal Republic in this narrative incremental game.

Big Dig involves uncovering historical artifacts while upgrading your tools and expanding your museum. Your efforts support Mayor Dog's campaign and the construction of a highway through varied landscapes.

It sits in the Clicker / Idle / Prestige / Numbers / Automation corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
