MOLE blends psychological horror and machinery simulation as you operate a monstrous drill to pierce the Earth.
June 1st, 2026 - Navigate a giant drilling machine into the Earth as you chase a mysterious signal that promises you redemption. You must operate the drill's machinery by hand, fix broken systems, and figure out how to keep it moving while you shift in and out of reality. Developer Off Black Creations and publisher Oro Interactive are proud to announce that MOLE launches on Steam June 15th for $12.99 USD.
MOLE is a psychological horror experience with tactile simulation elements about madness, loss, faith, and coming to terms with your own failures. You are the Navigator aboard a deep-bore vessel, a colossal drilling machine. But the crew is gone. The vessel lies dormant. And somewhere below, a Signal keeps calling you deeper.
To mark the release date announcement, Oro Interactive has released a new trailer showcasing the game's intense atmosphere, tactile interactions, and hard-hitting sequences. For fans of Mouthwashing and Iron Lung, this is a hidden psychological horror gem worth digging for.
A Hidden Horror Gem Worth Playing
MOLE doesn't hold your hand. There are no tutorials, no waypoints, no hints. You're dropped into the Navigator's seat, and it's on you to piece together what happened and how to survive it.
Spiral into your own past as fragments of memory surface alongside choices that refuse to stay buried. Operate the vessel's machinery, solve diegetic puzzles, and uncover the truth as you descend into impossible depths. The deeper you go, the more guilt, religion, and fractured memories claw their way in, blurring the line between what's real and what's breaking down inside your head. You'll need to learn how the MOLE works if you want to survive what's waiting at the Signal.
Made by a small team in Sweden, MOLE features a visually mind-bending experience with 4-5 hours of set pieces, tense sequences, and a hard-hitting narrative. The game trusts you to solve puzzles using the vessel's systems and face what's waiting at the Signal.
