The Adit

Cornwall, 1902. You are the surveyor sent to map the old workings of Wheal Hendra. The way you came in has just caved in behind you.

The only way up is the cage. It won't run without power.

WHAT YOU DO

- Light the wall lamps to keep your bearings in the dark.

- Find the three switches that power the cage.

- Read the notes left by the last man sent down here.

- When the lights go out, run.

About 10 minutes. Two endings. One jump scare.
