The Miners Revenge takes you deep into the mountain and through the pits of ancient miners who spent their lives chasing the red metal. Some say the men who died still live in the mine protecting their claim, we can’t say that’s true but we can say that anything can happen when you are 300 feet below the surface and there’s nobody to hear you scream.
Miners Revenge, they were chasing a dream of riches in the form of silver and copper, you are being chased, and we have just one question, who’s afraid of the dark?
