The drill is turning again. Off Black Creations and publisher Oro Interactive have announced MOLE: Endless Salvation, a substantial, completely free update arriving on Steam, October 26, 2026 — bringing an endless survival mode and new story chapters to the atmospheric psychological horror that has earned a rare 97% positive rating on Steam.
Endless Descent — How Far Can You Go Before Everything Fails?
The headline addition is Endless Descent, a relentless replayable survival mode built around one unforgiving premise: keep your colossal drilling machine operational as you push into ever more hostile depths.
- Manage critical systems — power, hydraulics, cooling, and structural integrity all degrade the deeper you go
- Escalating danger — every new layer brings harsher conditions, unexpected failures, and encounters that test both your machine and your resolve
- Procedural progression — no two runs are identical. New threats, system failures, and resource challenges keep you guessing
- Compete for depth — track your furthest descent and see how you stack up against other navigators
It’s a stark shift from the narrative focus of the base game — stripped back, mechanical, and designed to be replayed until you either master the drill or it consumes you.
The Story Continues — What Lies Beneath
The update also expands MOLE’s haunting narrative, revealing more about the world above and the unsettling forces pulling you downward.
“Pilot the MOLE, a monstrous post-war drilling machine built to descend deep below the Slavic soil. Fix failing systems, follow voices of the dead, and pray you can survive whatever is sharing your coffin.”
— MOLE Official Description
New logs, deeper mysteries, and answers to lingering questions await those who have already completed the main journey. The update promises to cast fresh light on the fate of the crew, the origin of the Signal, and the true nature of what lies at the bottom.
