Devils Wind Mine

Devils Wind Mine is a minigame in which you play an engineer in a coal mine’s pump control room. You decide whether to save the son of a desperate mother, and how many other miners to rescue, in a story inspired by Baldomero Lillo’s tale.

The mine

In 1904, the Lota coal mine in Chile drew the attention of the country’s miners. Food was scarce and needs were growing, leading entire families to sacrifice their lives inside the mine. The game gives you a second chance to change the fate of those who died, while the devil waits to be fed in the mine’s passages.

Control the pumps

You use the radar, pumps and electricity to decide the miners’ fate. The game has four scenarios to replay as you try to save them all. Telegrams present the complete short story of “El Chiflón del Diablo,” which tells of coal-stained life and death, a mother’s love and hope, exploitation, and collapses.
