3 cozy digging games

Digseum

Digseum

Digseum is an incremental clicker game where you dig up ancient relics and display them in a museum. Your income comes from people coming to view the items. You’ll be able to upgrade your museum and excavation abilities with money earned from it, but you’ll also get additional benefits from using prestige earned from restarting. Each area has its own relics and digging obstacles that make each level unique.

Steam

MineMogul

As you grow, so does the chaos. You’ll need to optimize your layout and come up with creative solutions to keep your factory running smoothly.
