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
- Radar, pumps, electricity; all that to let you decide the miners fate
- Four different scenarios to play and re-play to save them all
- The full short story of “El Chiflón del Diablo” shown through telegrams
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.
