Oro Interactive and developer Off Black Creations have announced a June 15 release date for their upcoming subterranean psychological horror title MOLE. The game will also launch with a 10% launch discount. Accompanying the announcement is a brand new trailer.
Drawing on themes of religion, madness, and guilt, MOLE takes place in the eponymous colossal drilling machine deep beneath post-war Slavic soil, where you are the Navigator. Unfortunately, the crew is gone, the vessel is silent, and the Signal won’t stop calling. Your objective is simple: Keep the machine running at all costs.
Players are expected to figure out the machine’s failing systems and do their best to survive what might end up being their casket. No need to worry too much, as operating and maintaining the Mole’s complex systems is done through hands-on interaction. You’ll solve problems using in-world tools, interfaces, and machinery.
Of course, you’ll also need to survive the depths of the Earth as isolation and madness blur your reality. Along your journey, you’ll uncover fragments of your past as memories resurface and decisions echo back, along with the mystery behind your missing crew.
