About this game
Ever wondered: “Could I escape prison with just a spoon?”
You wake up in the bottom floor of Alco-Trash - a grim, forgotten island prison with walls that crumble faster than the inmates. Your only companion is Blue, a voice from the toilet that promises freedom if you keep digging.
DIG YOUR WAY TO CONTRABAND AND FREEDOM
Every scrape of dirt brings you closer to the old sewer tunnels below. Along the way, you’ll find Contraband - all valuable in their own weird way. Trade your junk with Blue to unlock spoon schematics.
MODIFY YOUR SPOON TO SUIT YOUR DIGGING NEEDS
Dig faster, dig bigger, dig deeper, dig cooler - it's up to you!
Combine different types of Heads & Stems to turn your spoon into an absolute beast!
Will you tunnel straight down? Spiral out sideways? Grapple past toxic sludge? It’s your hole.
Reach the sewers, climb the ladder, and freedom is yours. Or is it? There’s always a catch in Alco-Trash.
There’s no timer, no alarms - just you, your spoon, and the dirty secret waiting at the bottom.
Wishlist: Digging a Hole... with a Spoon: Escape from Alcatraz now - your hole isn’t going to dig itself!
“One spoon, infinite dirt, zero dignity.”

Thank you to everyone who’s supported the game so far by buying it, wish listing it, or sharing it with a friend.If you’ve had the game on your Wishlist and were waiting to see how it landed: it’s out now, people are enjoying it, and every purchase helps us keep making weird little games like this one.Read full article on Community Announcements (Eddaheim)Patch NotesOfficial

New Year Update!
Happy New Year, everyone! 🥳 It turns out New Year’s resolutions aren’t the only things that can get mixed up after the holidays… We want to be upfront: we accidentally released an older build of the game. Somewhere between fireworks, holiday snacks, and welcoming the new year, the wrong button got pressed. That one’s on us sorry about that! The good news: this is now fixed. The latest and complete build is live and ready to play, with everything that was meant to be included. Thank you for your patience, your support, and for sticking with us as we kick off the new year together and from here on out, we’ll be stirring things carefully… no more half-baked spoonfuls 🥄😉Read full article on Community Announcements (Eddaheim)
