The Dig®

You play as Boston Low, a NASA veteran sent with journalist Maggie Robbins and geologist Ludger Brink to divert an asteroid threatening Earth. Their examination of it leads the crew into a remote alien setting and a mystery surrounding a vanished civilization. Explore unfamiliar landscapes, ruins, and underground tunnels in a point-and-click adventure. Examine objects, gather and use items, talk with the other crew members, and investigate strange alien devices. Progress by piecing together environmental clues and experimenting with mechanisms to solve puzzles and open new paths. The journey unfolds across many locations, with discoveries about the world and the crew’s situation driving the story forward.

As astronaut Boston Low, explore an alien world through point-and-click puzzles after an asteroid mission goes far off course.
