About This Game

🕷️ Escape The Mines

In the depths of an abandoned mineshaft… terror awaits.

Overview:
Trapped underground after a routine exploration gone wrong, you find yourself sprinting through claustrophobic tunnels. Hot on your heels is an immense, grotesque spider—its scuttling echoes drown out your own panicked breaths. With each step, the shadowy walls seem to close in, forcing you to dash under low-hanging beams, duck behind broken support timbers, and leap across treacherous gaps.

Key Features:

  • Relentless pursuit – The spider never stops, injecting raw dread and living menace.

  • Claustrophobic, immersive environments – Dim lighting, tight passages, and crumbling rock keep tension taut.

  • Evasion over combat – Unarmed and vulnerable, your only weapon is speed and smarts—dashing under obstacles and avoiding sudden sinkholes in the floor.

  • Atmospheric soundtrack – The click of giant legs and the echo of your heartbeat builds a soundscape as unnerving as the darkness.

Your Mission:
Navigate twisting mineshaft corridors, strategically dash under low beams, leap obstacles, and anticipate deadly sinkholes. Along the way, piece together journal entries hinting at the mine’s haunted history and the origin of your enormous pursuer.

Why It Works:
With simple mechanics and high stakes—run, hide, dash under debris, avoid collapse—your game taps into primal fears of claustrophobia, helplessness, and the unseen threat right behind.

Play here: https://youtu.be/OSdPZW6aHFo Honestly I played an SCP Game with this type of thing as a mini game and I think it's actually not a bad idea to make it a full game the spider is creepy looking, but the game has too many problems to recommend. The obstacles can spawn too close together making it impossible to pass through since you can't jump over most things so you need rng to even make it past a certain point. The Spider is almost exactly as fast as the player from the start of the game and it's hard-impossible to put space inbetween you and him which means even at the start of the game you mess up you're dead not ramping in difficulty over time. The Spider has absolutely zero side effects which takes away the scare factor after your first death really there should be skittering sound effects as it draws close and a death sound effect. Overall the concept is fine, but with the current level of execution it's not worth .89 cents imo
