What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
There weren't any real exposition dumps, and the environmental storytelling was clear enough to give a basic understanding of what was going on, while being vague enough to still let you piece together the rest of the story and theorize for yourself.
That being said, the gameplay is enjoyable, but is probably the weakest aspect of the game.
The atmosphere is suffocating and oppressive, and while sometimes the game goes way too dark, other times it accomplishes that goal by employing striking, dramatic lighting or spatial trickery to catch you off guard.
The sound effects of pipes dripping or engines clanking really adds to the atmosphere of the game, and any time there's an enemy nearby, their footsteps and cries are always gutwrenching.
There are some chase sequences in MOLE, but they are never too difficult and manage to be tense and exciting without overstaying their welcome, and the long periods of downtime between where you're solving puzzles or exploring the ship make the level of tension completely manageable (unless you have a serious heart condition).
