About the Game

The Monster Mole is an asymmetrical first-person PvP horror survival game where you either try to survive and escape a vicious beast with your teammates, or hunt your prey as the nearly-blind monster that inhabits the surroundings of the fictional town of Dry Lake.


As a survivor, coordinating with your teammates and finding the right balance between being quick and being quiet is key to escaping with your life.
  • Find spare parts and repair your car;
  • Alternatively, find and fuel the generator and escape on foot;
  • Understand the balance between being loud but quick and quiet but slow;
  • Slow down and confound the beast - turn on radios, set down bear traps, collect and throw stones to draw it away from you;
  • Know when to speak - communication is important, but the monster is always listening!
  • Learn to navigate the dark, foggy maps avoiding their many traps.


As the Mole, mastering your understanding of the environmental clues and sounds made by the survivors will more than make up for your limited sight.
  • Make up for your near-sightedness by listening attentively for sounds;
  • Leave behind gooey traps that reveal and slow down survivors;
  • Destroy tools that would otherwise be helpful to the thrill-seekers and knock down doors to houses where they might have barricaded themselves within;
  • Keep the pressure on! The survivors have a limited time to escape, force them into making mistakes by always being on the move.
