MOLE

An excellent horror puzzle game that'll keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. In MOLE you take on the role of the navigator on board of M13, a huge drilling vehicle with the goal of reaching a mysterious signal almost 9 km under the Earth's surface. But even in the bowels of the planet the protagonist cannot escape his past. How will these two threads tie together? MOLE fits into what I've come to think of as the "routine work horror"-genre: it teaches you certain recurring actions, like figuring out the coordinates to input into the navigation system of the machine. And then it messes with what you've learnt, like suddenly adding new steps, forcing you to do it without really seeing what you're doing or doing it under time pressure. It keeps things fresh, and ties neatly into the excellent puzzle design that completely avoids "moon logic" and stays grounded with the game's setting and themes. Besides the mystery of the vehicle's destination and the protagonist's past, the story is also one of the love of a father for his child, and the lengths a parent will go for the sake of their loved ones. It's a poignant but painful story, that goes to some pretty heavy places. The game has a good soundtrack, excellent sound design, a perfectly suitable art direction for the chunkiness of the setting and it doesn't outstay its welcome. All in all an easy recommend!

A wonderful story driven experience. I've seen it frequently compared to Mouthwashing, which makes sense. It's less of a classic game and more of an interactive story. There's a few puzzles and chase sequences but for the most part you're walking around reliving memory after memory. Graphics are low-poly but it only adds to the whole retro-futuristic style. The story is fantasically told and took an odd twist towards the end. There are enough hints for you to pick up where the story is headed without being heavy-handed with the clues. The religious aspect caught me off guard but after looking back at the story there was subtle clues. It's not a difficult game but doesn't hold your hand telling you what to do. There where a few times I didn't notice a cassette you need to move forward or got confused where I was supposed to go but it kind of improved the experience. Of course a pilot wouldn't immediatly know the navigators or engineers job. I know some people will complain there is no "consequence" of getting caught by the monster but when the story wraps up it creates an "Aha" moment of why that's the case. Overall a fantastic experience (if you can handle the themes) and well worth the price.

Это просто разъeб нахyй, огромных успехов. Это буквально то, что до дрожи. 9\10 единственное поддушил эпизод с беготней на корабле другом. А так это один из лучших психологических хорроров которые я играл, а сыграл в них далеко немало. Просто axyеть. ЖДУ НОВЫХ ИГР ОТ ВАС. УМНИЦЫ
