About Diamond Digger

Diamond Digger is a treasure hunting game set in an abandoned mine. The player explores a deep underground shaft, collecting points while navigating its passageways.

A key must be found to descend to each lower level. Movement through existing tunnels is faster than the deliberate process of digging new ones, which affects pacing.

The environment is hazardous due to a greedy ghost that haunts the mine, indicated by bloody wall markings. Contact with this enemy is fatal, making evasion a constant requirement alongside the collection objective. This creates a challenging dynamic.
