Tommyknockers

Tommyknockers is a survival game set in a haunted mine near Breckenridge, Colorado, in the 1860s. As a newcomer, you take the only job available: guarding each day’s newly mined gold overnight. The miners keep the gold inside the mine because scavengers, thieves and bandits make the nearby town unsafe, while the mythical Tommyknockers who dwell in the mine seek to reclaim its riches.

Defend the mine

You have limited supplies to protect yourself and the gold through each night. Set bear traps around a defensive perimeter, and throw rocks to scare, injure or potentially kill the Tommyknockers, or keep them at a distance. Use a candle-burning lantern to light the darkness and frighten the creatures, but candles and matches are extremely limited, so you will spend part of each night in the dark.

Supplies and survival

The more gold you keep safe each night, the more supplies you can buy from the General Store during the day to help you survive the next night.
