Drihoo is a solo adventure game where Dunk , a dwarf treasure hunter, finds himself left alone after a cave-in separates him from his crew. The ground beneath the land is filled with ancient ruins, treasures, and hidden dangers, waiting to be uncovered.
The core of Drihoo 's gameplay revolves around digging. Underground, players can hold down the R trigger to power up their drill and start excavating through dirt or stone. The game features no pre-set maps or tunnels, allowing players to create their own paths as they please. Their progress is permanent, persisting even between play sessions, enabling players to build a vast network of tunnels over time.
As Drihoo digs deeper, he'll encounter tombs filled with treasures and hidden monsters. Players can explore these areas to collect valuable items while defending themselves from the dangers within. Once treasures are collected, Drihoo can return to settlements to decode ancient relics and sell his finds, using the proceeds to stock up on supplies.
Drihoo was released for the Xbox console in November 2002.
