The GameplaySet within a supposedly empty mine, your character must find out where thedisembodied voices they seem to be hearing are coming from.Due to the overwhelming darkness, you can only view your surroundings with therudimentary navigational equipment provided to you by your employer. Press the ‘Scan’button to see where you are – but beware, doing so lets whatever lives in the mineknow you’re there too. Avoid cavernous holes in the ground with help from your map.The StoryLow on cash, you take a job with the world’s largest resource extraction company. Theysend you to the middle of nowhere, to guard the entrance of a mine that was closedyears ago. Easy, right? It was – until you heard the voices. They’re soft, yet persistent.Your instructions were to stick to your posting and scan the area, so you figure it’snot out of bounds to venture farther into the mine shaft. After all, there are lightbulbsstrung along the walls to guide your path. But before long the lights go out and youdecide – perhaps unwisely, perhaps not, only time will tell – to keep on going. With onlyyour company-issued device to guide you, you go deeper.To survive, you must avoid holes in the cave floor and the things that chase youwhenever you scan what’s in your immediate vicinity. Along the way, you learn whocame before you, why you never heard of them before, and your mysterious connectionto this mine’s past.
