How it feels

You scurry through rotting sewers as a tiny worker bug, surrounded by decaying mold and silence, in a brief, melancholic exploration.

What players say

Players agree MOLD is a very short, free student project that can be finished in under ten minutes. Many praise the environmental art and insect design, but also report clunky controls and poor optimization.
