What is HOLE?
A low-resolution, single-player first-person shooter built around entering surreal stages and getting back out. You jump through a floating microwave, fight endlessly spawning enemies with guns that can jam, and return through the microwave when ready. There are three stages, no time limit, and no story.
For you if...
- +you enjoy short, difficult solo firefights
- +you like tense gunfights where weapons can jam
- +you prefer eerie, surreal settings over a story
Not for you if...
- −you want a story to guide your progress
- −you prefer levels with a definite endpoint
- −you expect a large selection of stages and guns
