My favorite male fantasy that games allow me to realize is that of becoming a successful man despite not executing any meaningful work.
I played a similar game on Roblox: Dig to find dad.
The objective is to bomb your way some 3 kilometers downwards. When you reach the bottom you'll find a grocery store where the dad is shopping for milk. Talking to him reveals that he doesn't want to go home. I don't know if other endings are possible.

Hey now, I said no meaningful work, not evil bullshit
I just want to play games where i am not a toxic shit head and still get to do violence
This game is actually great. I played through fully twice, it's rather short. Highly recommend if you like digging a hole and upgrading your hole digging ability.
What does it say about me that I'm actually interested in buying and playing this game?
You need a bigger yard. Or a better shovel.
It says that you want to experience life but wont/can't sacrifice the physical investment that it involves.
Idk 🤷♂️. I'm not a doctor.
Yes, games about my instinctual longing for the mines. ⛏️
Isn’t it bit racist to think only male dwarfs like to dig holes.
Can confirm. Am dwarf, I don't like holes. I like elves, fellowships and killing orcs. And my ax!
I wonder if you can fill it with beans.
Only after you line it with jeans.:-)

I know this is a meme but I’m really really hoping that top line is from a skit or something
Nope. It was a BuzzFeed thing about a very very feminist person talking about how gaming only appeals to men. I am feminist, and the piece still got a massive eyeroll from me. They cherry picked a few things and said because of those things gaming was only catering to men.
Worse is that they didn't tackle any actual issues going on in gaming. Just lame ragebait.
IIRC one of the examples was an NPC in GTA 5 making a sexist comment. In GTA 5, which is of course a parody of modern culture, completely out of context.

Ugh so typical buzzfeed clickbait slop then. Thank you for explaining. /gen
Guess I’ll go back to putting up with all the male fantasy in the cat adventure game I’m playing 😂

From what I've seen, men absolutely love digging holes. Every summer on the beach it's the same: there's always men digging holes. They bring their kids to the beach just to have an excuse for digging a hole, a waterfort, some dams, ... For the kids ;)
So men like holes, kinda expected though?
Two questions. What is the surse of the top line? What is the source of the bottom line?
"A Game about digging a Hole" its well a game about digging a Hole in your backyard in the search for treasure.
Relatable to kids everywhere trying to dig a hole to the other side of the world.
Do kids these days still do that? Pls someone research this
I grabbed a couple, but they won't answer. They just keep screaming.
Give me a little more time.
Edit: long story short, does anyone know a good lawyer?

Builds character
... dad?
Girls can like digging holes too. Sounds to me like someone is looking for something to hate, and really reaching here, unless there's something more subtle to this game (I doubt it).
Girls can be great hole diggers, yes.
Hey, I ain't saying she's a hole digger
In the original she was talking about GTA and in this meme, the creator is joking
Wait. The meme is a joke... and shouldn't be taken seriously? Hmmm
Rock and stone!
Seems like the kind of game Dankpods would play.
