MOLE

MOLE Is fantastic. It's short, poignant, spooky, and unique. This game combines elements from other well known games like Iron Lung for example, and MouthWashing to create a really, really incredible experience. But what I think this game does better than both of those, is a lot of world building in a very short amount of time, and not only that, but using that world building to tell a really unique and powerfully emotional story. Really can't emphasize it enough, I think this game is going to hit a lot of people right in the gut. Gameplay wise, the game is really solid. There are a couple of times I ran into personally during my playthrough where the instructions felt a little unclear that i would have liked changed (For example not knowing that I had to use a particular object twice..) which i felt like kind of put a damper on the moment. But overall, while the gameplay isn't groundbreaking, it actually does some really cool things with the interactions inside the digging machine that keep the game more than interesting during the short 4 ish hour experience. It's also worth mentioning that while I think the horror elements of this game are multifaceted the more in your face elements are well done, not just obnoxious jumpscares or loud noises like you see in so many other games these days. Anyway, I wouldn't dare rate this anything less than a 8.5 or so out of 10. Really great.
