About
The world is decaying. MOLD consumes everything
Explore this rotten world from the perspective of an insignificant worker bug doing what it can to keep its queen alive. Climb through sewer pipes and over the soft mold-covered husks of others like you.
Mold is a beautifully haunting exploration game. Scurry around the decaying sewers as a bug in a dying colony. This game was created by Finley Southwick for Ringling College of Art and Design's Game Art department.
MOLD is a very short narrative and atmospheric collection and exploration game. You can crawl on any surface-- along walls, and ceilings to collect the corpses of your kin to bring to your infected queen, as it is your only purpose as you dodge deadly fungal spores that will result in your grotesque end!

Quel jeu fantastique, l'histoire est vraiment très profonde, une fois dedans c'est difficile de quitter. J'ai vu beaucoup de jeu avec de superbe histoire (Red Dead Redemption 2, Undertale) mais celui la est vraiment fantasmagorique
Definitely weird! Didn't know what to expect, but that was not it! Recommend playin this when its dead quiet! Your bound to have someone notice! #timewaster #shortestgameever

[h1] Our Purpose [/h1} Okay, super short game. It has an interesting premise and I'm kind of sad that there wasn't a little more to it, and the reviews are not kidding that it is literally a super short game, but I am interesting to see more from the College and Finley! Keep up the good work!
awesome project, I'm in love with the concept and would totally pay for an optimized full length version of this or something similar
I thought it was very neat, the bugs were very cute. poorly optimised and the wall climbing was janky but i like the narrative of a worker drone following its instincts as best it can, only to end up killing the queen anyway. something something futility under capitalism. I liked it and I hope the dev keeps making games!
game has a really cool concept. BUT the fps is ahh
MOLD is proof that a game doesn't need to be long to leave an impression. The atmosphere is unsettling from the start, with excellent environmental design and sound that constantly keeps you on edge. It captures that feeling of exploring somewhere you really shouldn't be, and it does it well. Despite its short runtime, it never feels rushed. Every moment feels intentional, and the experience sticks with you after the credits roll. If you're a fan of atmospheric indie horror and don't mind a shorter experience, I definitely recommend giving MOLD a try. Sometimes less really is more.
Гра Атмосферно бридка, того і запустив) Здивувало що за 10хв пройшов... Управління капець яке криве... з норм управлінням пройшлася би за 5-6хв Оптимізація погана Локація маленька але гарна Як на безплатний фан проект на пару хв, прикольно
there were a lot of bugs and glitches that kinda made the game unplayable. 15 minutes was just trying to get the game to run, its very poorly optimized as well. ALTHOUGH, i do really like the concept and thought it was such a cute idea!! I really wish we could get a full game outta this!!
