Hole Is Mine Guides Hub

Welcome to the Hole Is Mine Guides Hub. This page is the map for every how-to on the wiki. Hole Is Mine is a Steam incremental adventure from Incrementalist, co-published by SpaceJazz (App ID 4508020). It released on August 10, 2026 as a single-player experience with full controller support and Steam Deck Verified status. You play as Shelly, a drill creature whose job is to purify the divine Hole, rescue and equip Mini’Ohs, and rebuild the Village while climbing roughly forty Depths.

If you are brand new, start with Getting Started. That guide covers day-one controls, the collect → upgrade → Incursion loop, and why you should invest early upgrades into one carry Mini’Oh instead of spraying points everywhere. Once you understand the loop, move to How to Start an Incursion so you know when to throw the bag into the Hole and when to keep farming surface upgrades.

Progression depth comes from systems, not from rushing. Read How to Upgrade for Village trees versus equipment slots, Holy Blook spending, and named gear like Friendship Wool, Heavy Axe (Heaxy Axe), Bravery Helmet, and clone items. When Depth hazards start deleting careless runs, open the Depths Walkthrough for tentacles, bosses, and safer push strategies. Village rebuilds and hidden finds live in Village and Secrets. After the campaign, Infinite Hole explains post-story farming.

How to use this hub

Treat the guides as a route, not a checklist you skim once. Hole Is Mine rewards deliberate early play. The core campaign sits around five hours if you stay focused, but that estimate assumes you learn Incursion timing and upgrade focus. Players who throw every bag the moment they unlock the throw often stall: Mini’Ohs arrive under-equipped, Village projects lag, and Depth walls feel unfair. Use the Getting Started page for the first session, then bounce between Incursion timing and upgrade priority whenever you feel stuck.

Cross-link your reading with build planning. The Tier List Hub helps you decide which Mini’Oh and equipment combinations deserve your Holy Blook first. Equipment combinations exceed five hundred options across helmets, masks, pickaxes, backpacks, and supporting slots. You do not need every combination; you need a coherent carry kit that survives the Depth you are targeting. When a patch or patch notes drop, check Updates and then revisit the Depths or Infinite Hole guides for any farming shifts.

What these guides assume

All pages assume the full Steam release on Windows, not the free Prologue (App ID 4511490) and not a multiplayer build. Hole Is Mine is single-player only. There is no multiplayer. If you came from the Prologue, treat the full game as the expanded loop: more Depths, more than three hundred upgrades, and far denser equipment crafting. Controller and Steam Deck play are first-class; keyboard and mouse defaults remain WASD to move and Left Click to grab and launch.

These articles also avoid invented patch calendars and fictional multiplayer modes. When a mechanic is explained, it is tied to the published loop: collect resources, spend on upgrades and gear, then commit an Incursion by throwing your bag into the Hole. Purification of the divine Hole is the campaign spine. Rescuing Mini’Ohs expands your team. Rebuilding the Village unlocks quality-of-life and power. Infinite Hole is the dedicated endgame farm once the story climb is done.

Pair these guides with the Tier List Hub when you are deciding who carries the next Depth, and with Updates when a balance pass changes upgrade value. Official store and community destinations live on the Links Hub. Play carefully, upgrade with intent, and only throw the bag when Shelly and your Mini’Ohs are ready.
