About the Game




Your first night on the job should have been uneventful, just another shift deep in the tunnels of an isolated gold mine. But when disaster strikes and the mine collapses, your reality changes instantly. The crew is gone. Something is down here with you. And the only thing standing between you and the dark is the green glow of your night vision lens.

Dark Mine is a first-person survival horror game set in a pitch-black labyrinth of rock, debris, and unseen terror. Using only a handheld night vision camera, you must navigate narrow tunnels, avoid the creature that stalks the dark, and find your way to the surface.

A Retro Nightmare

Inspired by the lo-fi tension of classic horror, Dark Mine blends PSX-style visuals with a claustrophobic setting and relentless atmosphere. The mine may be abandoned, but it is far from empty. Every flicker of movement and every distant sound may be the last thing you hear.

See in the Dark—Or Don’t

The camera is your only guide. Use it to uncover hidden paths, spot movement in the shadows, and avoid the monster hunting you. But be warned: light can help you, but it can also reveal dark truths.

Escape or Die Below

You are alone. There is no rescue. The only way out is forward, through crumbling passageways and past whatever now calls this mine home. Keep moving, stay quiet, and don’t lose your grip on reality.

The mine took your crew. Don’t let it take you.
