Minors is a search and rescue game in which you take the role of a distressed parent that ventures into the local mines to locate your kid and their gaggle of friends who were seen entering the mine previously. Whilst distressed, your basic parenting instincts direct you through the mine, and you fear for the worst – so time is precious.

Challenges that the player will be presented with will consist of recalling memory, focusing hearing towards the children and navigating through the dimly-lit tunnels. In regards to memory, the network of mine tunnels are somewhat of a maze and in some cases the player will have to retrace their steps, as they have no definite map – only some signage and certain props to use as markers.

For the hearing aspect of the game, it is important for the player to pay attention to audio cues and in some cases standing still to avoid interfering with certain audio changes, some of these cues will be represented by screams for help, shuffling feet or nearby cave-ins.

Lastly, the poor lighting in the tunnels will present a visual challenge for the player, and possibly add an atmosphere of unease or horror. The player will either have a lantern, torch or flare on hand as a light source – however battery is limited therefore recommended the player not leave their devices on for the continuously.
