About

Pih, formerly known as Big Pig, refers to an indie video game on Steam, which was released in August 2024, but went viral on TikTok in mid-2025, largely due to a meme that showed gameplay footage and a TikTok comment asking, "Dawg, what the hell are you playing?" The game is about collecting food without being killed by the enemy pigs. The gameplay involves shooting pigs with balls. Pih is likely a play on the word Dih.
