About Devils Wind Mine
The Devil's Wind Mine is an indie minigame where you play an engineer from the mine's pump control room, seeking to save the son of a desperate mother. You are the decider of this story, inspired by Baldomero Lillo's tale.
In 1904, the Lota coal mine in Chile captured the attention of the country's miners. Because food was scarce, and their needs were increasing, entire families sacrificed their lives inside the mine. In this game, you have a second chance at redemption, by twisting the fate of those who passed.
It is your duty, as an engineer, to save as many miners as possible, or just one; the devil waits to be fed inside these passages.
Features
Baldomero Lillo portrayed the atrocities of the mine, telling stories that came from inside the earth's core. “El Chiflón del Diablo” narrates life and death stained with coal, a mother's love and hope, exploitation, and collapses.

"Devils Wind Mine" is at least a genuinely made game, even if it's not a good one. The idea is you're a mine operator, some people get stuck in the mine, and you have to save people and make tough choices, all from the comfort of your desk. This is not how mines actually work. What do you do in the game? It's a desktop simulator, really. You've got a simple display and some mine control instruments that all look like they are made out of cardboard (seriously the game assets are laughably bad). I suspect that if your mine operator made all of the controls for the mine out of cardboard boxes, this mine is probably not safe and you should not go into the mine. Anyway, operating the cardboard controls is part of your decision making process... there's a few of these amateur games on Steam and this is one of the worst. I mean, the concept might work but the technical implementation is junk. The "game" here is of a pretty low technical standard. The implementation is basic minimum effort stuff, more like a weekend project rather than a serious, professionally made product... and it's bad even compared to most amateur made games. An experimental piece... and the experiment is "C…
Really short but fun experience, won't spoil much as it was quite fun diving in blind but it's free so absolutely give it a shot!
