About Vacant's Mine
So you’ve been arrested? In Vacant’s Mine you can regain your freedom in just 7 Days!
You’ve been arrested. But In this prison camp, you can regain freedom in just 7 days! Navigate an old mine using a railway and steal whatever eggs the stingy and ominous man named Vacant requires. Don’t even think about running out, you’ve got limited electricity!
Use the Railway’s navigation system, manipulate conjunctions, move bridges and try to stay covered in light while you make your way through the cave to the Greebs' nests. But note, Mr. Vacant requires different eggs everyday!
Watch, listen and read terminal logs left behind from the miners, who experienced the horror of the Greebs outbreak, before the mine turned into a prison camp to gain information about the egg positions. Keep an eye out to loot some old scrap to upgrade your Mine Railway!
Steal the eggs with a Plunger and bring them to Mr. Vacant to regain your freedom. But watch out for the bloodthirsty Greebs!

✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's unique premise, atmospheric tension, and charming creature design, with solid graphics and voice acting that create genuine paranoia during gameplay. However, opinions split sharply on whether it delivers as horror—some find the creatures' unpredictable appearances effectively nerve-wracking, while others feel the gameplay loop becomes repetitive and boring, with jump scares feeling more frustrating than scary after the initial hours.
I would rather 3rd degreeb burns all over my body than waste another single minute in this game. I demand a sequel to the alien rape simulator you lot created. Otherwise, a greeb will visit you in your sleep. You've been warned.6 found this helpful
Short dystopic game about driving a small train cart to collect creature eggs to work off your prison sentence. The creatures are adorable but have a lot of teeth so you need to turn the light on if they get near your cart or they yomp you (they like eating heads). So over the 7 days you get given a list of specific coloured eggs to find and you can upgrade your cart with scrap that’s lying around everywhere. fun and worth a recommend2 found this helpful
The gameplay loop is so overtly simple and boring. It is a small game, sure, but even after day 2 (like 15 minutes), I was pretty thrown off by the absolute lack of excitement I had for this experience. The only thing I can appreciate about this game is how, through procedural rhetoric, it immerses you in the true boredom of forced labour.1 found this helpful
Graphics are cool and so is the voice-acting! The controls are simple enough and the game itself isn't over-complicated at all. With that being said, I just couldn't get into it. The atmosphere didn't encourage the horror vibe and the greebs didn't provide any jump scares to me; they were only a source of frustration because I didn't hear or see them until I was already dead. As a horror game, this fell flat for me BUT the premise is unique. If you like manning a mine cart and using an Inspector Gadget plunger to steal eggs, I recommend this game is for you.1 found this helpful
Okay so this game is good, quite hard though. fun and a few funny jump scares. The creatures are not that scary but they just appear out from nowhere, so it works quite well. runs great, my only complaint is I would like an option to cap my FPS as I don't see the point in having 170 FPS in this game but other than that good game. 8/101 found this helpful
An interesting spin to the horror genre with a simple yet nerve-wracking gameplay experience. Throughout the journey, I was constantly paranoid whether the creatures were pursuing me the deeper I went into the mine while constantly checking for resources and avoiding being left out to die. Definitely worth to check out for fans of the horror genre who love exploring the mysteries of a dystopian journey with intense moments and tons of pressure that made the experience worthwhile to me.1 found this helpful
