From The Mystery Zone

From The Mystery Zone is a short first-person Minesweeper game. You explore a pitch-dark world, avoid dangerous events, restore your memory and try to escape the Mystery Zone. Play time is at least 60 minutes, depending on difficulty.

Minesweeper rules

The grid contains numbers such as “00”, “21” and “62”. The right side of a number shows how many dangerous events are in the surrounding eight squares; for example, “03” means there are three. The left side indicates the current hierarchy, though its meaning is unclear. Minesweeper cannot be solved completely, so luck plays a part.

You check squares and flag those you suspect contain an event. Dangerous events must not be touched, examined or walked over. The first square is always set to “0”, and the route from the starting point to the goal is kept free of events.

Difficulty and progress

You can adjust how many dangerous events appear and set the difficulty from beginner to expert. If you take damage, you can return to stage selection without initializing your data by choosing “Return to Title” from the menu. A game over can trigger an event that resets your progress.
