The Hole

The Hole is a cooperative horror game for one to four players. After an accident at a Soviet research institute, a living hole has opened beneath the complex. Players are liquidators sent down into it to bring back anomalous samples, old documents and everyday objects from the abandoned basements and lower levels. The layout of the Hole is different on every descent and changes while no one is looking. Each creature follows its own rule: one hunts by sound, one cannot be looked at, one comes for light, and one imitates members of the crew. Players talk through proximity voice chat and a radio, map the levels, carry heavy cargo together and rescue fallen teammates. Finds are turned in at the base to buy equipment and unlock research; experience points unlock personal items for the liquidator's suit.
