MOLE

A short, artistic horror game that hits many familiar, but well executed notes. Much of the game is spent in the drill, navigating the various systems in play with the drag and click controls, but occasionally has segments where you must solve specific puzzles in order to progress. Crawling controls are a bit odd, and I had a bit of frame drops near the end, but this doesn't diminish what I believe to be a great game. Buy this is you are looking for something short, sweet, artistic, and intense.

My feelings on this are a bit complicated as I really love games like this - I loved Signalis, Mouthwashing, 1000x Resist etc. But I feel like Mole was missing that special something that made all of the other games in this style of horror unique. I would recommend this as a means to support an interesting concept and a developer who's obviously trying their darndest to make something cool, even if it didn't land 100% for me. I think it being mechanically repetitive and a bit too wordy / lampshade-y with its themes is where it fell apart for me. Cool graphics, great sound design and suuuuper interesting concept. I loved the wild imagery that came with the ending and when the game got more weirder - I would've loved to spend more time in that weird space and less time lining up coordinates.

Incredible, 10/10. Masterclass in pacing and managing tension. Kept me curious, and trying to predict the next turn the story would take.

Amazing. Perfectly paced... psychological horror soviet job simulator? Mouthwashing meets Iron Lung is a decent starting point, but MOLE has plenty that makes it unique. If you're at all into these low-fi indie horror games we seem to be feasting on lately, this is a must-play.

most horror games i played there's always this moment where you can literally say out loud: "aannndd this is where *this thing* will happen." and it does happen because it's just so obvious this game doesn't have that, which is by far in my opinion it's BEST quality, it surprised me all the way and surprised me in all the good ways too i can't think of a single moment i was bored or frustated with a mechanic when i thought something was too complex the game taught me easily the monster is scary, in chases i actually knew were to go (unlike some other big "horror" titles). ACTUAL 10/10 i can't even believe that's actually possible to achieve but this game actually did it never found a bug, fun from start to end, GOOD story, nice visuals I CAN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYTHING!!!! MUST. buy.

first thing MOLE gave me on my first day as a virtual Slav was a pack of cigarettes. and then had me smoke one. 10/10 flawless production, no notes, possibly my game of the year
