Secrets of an abandoned mines

If you plan on filming a good horror movie or make a good horror game, then mines are a good location choice. The earth's womb hides thousands of meters of narrow dark tunnels. Pitch dark, lack of oxygen, poisones gases, the possibility to be buried alive, claustrophobia - all make them scary as hell. If you ever enter some abandoned mine, rest assured that while you innocently walk down its tunnels, only centimeters below your feet, bones of some unfortunate soul may rest. That is why those places are often inhabited by apparitions, ghosts from the past. People often, very irresponsibly use those locations to store nuclear waste. And that makes it possible that these abandoned places could turn into a breeding ground for some new, genetically modified species, which survives by feeding on lost and curious visitors.

Do you remember the movie 'The Hills Have Eyes' from 2006? That is what I'm talking about. As a result of nuclear testing in a desert of New Mexico, complete ground and water contamination happened in that area. However, the miners who depend on their jobs for survival, refused to leave. 50 years later, one ordinary American family while traveling the country, comes across that contaminated area and then all hell brakes loose. "The lucky ones die fast". Down below is trailer on both sequels:

'The Mine' online game - what is it about?

This is a Unity game made by 4 students from England as their term paper/project. It is a first person shooter. Map consists of several underground rooms, all either in complete dark or just barely lit. Rooms are connected by vertical hallways and you use elevator to move from one to the next. You enter the elevator by pressing the push button on the wall. Inside the elevator there is a lever which must be pushed downwards to start the elevator. There will be occasional weapon and ammo to be found on the ground. First you get simple bat and later a gun. Weapons are for defense against bloodthirsty creatures coming at you from the dark. They have only one thought in their minds... kill, kill, kill. Eventually they will succeed, because the game is not made to have any possibility of exit. The goal is to get as far form the mines a s possible before they get you. Hint: At the beginning of the game there is writing in blood on the table: "They freeze in the light!". If these creatures really live only underground, it is quite possible that bright light might hurt them or at leat slow them down. You have flash light, so try and see if it could be useful to you.

Downsides

Bad thing is the fact that mouse pointer doesn't align with red cross in the game, which makes 'aiming' a bit difficult and can cause 'accidental clicks'. However if you start the game correctly and press enter, mouse pointer will be hidden. Also the game assumes that every player has mouse wheel for changing weapons, which is obviously not the case. It is also reported that on Mac computers, weapon changing is not possible. The game would be much better if there were levels, and a boss monster at the end of each of them. This way the game becomes repetitive very soon.
