* MoleMen: The antagonists. The trope is also [[FanNickname their unofficial nickname]] after LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}} called them "Mole-people".
* NamelessNarrative: The protagonist is unnamed, as are the person(s) who threw him into the tunnels. The monsters don't have an official name either, the Molemen being an unofficial FanNickname. Averted with Hank and Phil, though they are TheGhost and most likely deceased.

The tunnels aren't very well lit, the pipes are rattling, and there's this suspicious [[HellIsThatNoise clicking]] in the distance...

In its current version, the game ostensibly has an ending. However, it also has a reputation for [[NightmareFuel destroying the players who play it]] with its choking atmosphere and eerie sound effects, as well as a few {{jump scare}}s.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Since the description implies the walls in the tunnels are alive, that raises the question, when you hear whispers as the protagonist becomes frantic, are the walls or the souls of the previous victims "talking" to him, or is it just in his mind?

** You can see Molemen entering holes, and one of the notes state that it may be dangerous to go in there. In truth, you never actually encounter the monsters in the holes. The ones you see entering holes will vanish when you try to follow them. By proxy, those same Molemen are this as well, as they are incapable of hurting you since they will go through the holes before you reach them.
