About the Game

The world is decaying. MOLD consumes everything

Explore this rotten world from the perspective of an insignificant worker bug doing what it can to keep its queen alive. Climb through sewer pipes and over the soft mold-covered husks of others like you.

Mold is a beautifully haunting exploration game. Scurry around the decaying sewers as a bug in a dying colony. This game was created by Finley Southwick for Ringling College of Art and Design's Game Art department.

MOLD is a very short narrative and atmospheric collection and exploration game. You can crawl on any surface-- along walls, and ceilings to collect the corpses of your kin to bring to your infected queen, as it is your only purpose as you dodge deadly fungal spores that will result in your grotesque end!
