A brief yet unsettling cosmic horror experience
HOLE: Bottomless is a premium adventure game that blends cosmic horror with an eerie, liminal atmosphere. It drops players into an abandoned subway station with no explanation, no signs of life, and an overwhelming sense that something is watching. With only their instincts to rely on, they must explore the station’s unsettling corridors and find a way to escape—while avoiding the presence that lurks in the shadows.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
From the moment HOLE: Bottomless begins, the environment feels off. The empty subway station isn’t just abandoned—it feels unnatural as if reality is breaking down. Every corner hints at something bigger, something unseen yet ever-present. The game is controlled using a keyboard and mouse, making movement simple so the tension and atmosphere take center stage.
The main threat, She, is a grotesque entity wrapped in a dead body bag. Players cannot fight back—they can only run, hide, and hope they aren’t caught. This powerlessness adds to the game’s oppressive atmosphere, reinforcing its cosmic horror themes. While the experience is rich in tension, its short playtime may leave some wanting more.
Short, strange, and utterly unnerving
Ultimately, HOLE: Bottomless doesn’t rely on loud scares or over-the-top horror. Instead, it creates an atmosphere that lingers, making players feel truly alone in an inexplicable world. It’s a compact horror experience that sticks in the mind long after the game ends. Those looking for a longer or more action-packed horror game might find it lacking.
