## About This Game

In Miner’s Hell you assume the role of miner in a modern mine after a serious
mining accident took place. Cut off from the outside world and guided by
rescue workers about ground you have to make your way toward a different area
of the mine where a rescue will be possible.

While you start in a modern mine, your journey will take you to areas where
excavations took place in the past. Some of the mine shafts date back as far
as 1870-ties when it used to be a silver mine. Miner’s Hell will confront you
not only with the dangers of modern mining, but also those that miners from
centuries before had to face.

While you start with modern equipment such as oxygen masks and sensors, you
will have to learn old tricks to survive. Your modern equipment won’t cover
all the dangers, neither can you use it all the time. Filters use up,
batteries drain, things might get broken. You have to balance the usage and
learn along the way how miners in the past dealt with situations and apply
that knowledge.

One of your most important tools is your radio. This way you stay in touch
with the rescue team above ground that will guide you towards your goal. They
aren’t always right, but they come up with good ideas on how to deal with
certain problems. They also have maps of previous mining operations that took
place here over the centuries and came up with the idea to use various old
mine shafts to get to a spot they can break through. Unfortunately, old maps
are not always reliable nor accurate and you’ll find yourself in situations
where you will have to deal with the problems on your own.

Miner’s Hell is full of dangers and you won’t be able to avoid many of them.
That is part of the game. You won’t die, flashbacks will bring you back to
allow you to try a different approach, and a different one after that. This
way you can focus on dealing with the various dangers rather than spend your
time running back all the time.
