First-person psychological horror game [Bober Bros] The Hole takes place in a small flat. The player plays a lone man doing basic chores in a small apartment. At first, watching TV, eating, and tossing away trash are easy.
Every time the player reaches a particular point, the game loops. Each cycle of the loop alters slightly, suggesting a broader progression. More apartment areas become interactive as the game progresses. Voices are heard through the walls, tapes can be gathered and played, and Agatha is a key figure. Exploration becomes more about detail than movement.

Overall, reaction has been excellent, despite audio and visual difficulties. Due to its limited setting and psychological focus, the game is generally considered experimental horror.
