Hole Dweller is a sandbox incremental adult game by ThighHighGames, built with the Others engine and presented through animated 2D CG artwork. You play as a caravan captain who has spare rooms and can fill them with many attractive women. The game mixes monster, furry, and harem themes while you manage resources and progress through encounters.
The v43 release came out on June 28, 2023 for Windows in English and is uncensored. Development appears ongoing, with the latest update adding quality-of-life changes and bug fixes. Pheromone attacks can be avoided without mouse button presses or by holding both. Minigame cursor visuals were adjusted, and several crashes, gender-swap looping, skill exploits, shop menu issues, and pheromone failures were addressed. The build is intentionally unbalanced at present.

Overall this game is pretty good. The level of customization options you have for the NPCs is great, allowing for several different fetishes to be experienced (or avoided if they aren't your thing). My only complaint about the customization is…
