The real review

MOLE's a great PSX-style horror sim — the creepy story and claustrophobic atmosphere are what people love. The gameplay’s solid, with the drilling machine itself being a highlight, though some find the difficulty a bit punishing. The main issue is performance; a handful of PC players are reporting technical problems, but it's a vocal minority in an otherwise positive reception.
