Chapter two

The Mines, step by step

Forget everything the school taught you about searching. This chapter is a production line, and the monster on it is Thomas.

A tank engine with a pale screaming face stands on mine rails in a dark tunnel, supported on long thin spider-like legs.

  1. 1

    Pick up a pickaxe

    The chapter opens with tools rather than a search. Nothing here glows the way backpacks do in the school. Where the pickaxe turns up.

  2. 2

    Mine coal

    Work the seams for coal. How many pieces the furnace wants is the one number players disagree on — see the note below.

  3. 3

    Feed the furnace

    Carrying the coal to the furnace is what opens the gate. A player narrating it: “we need to take them to the furnace to open area two on this map.”

  4. 4

    Cross into area two

    The Mines has a second area. The school is a single one.

  5. 5

    Collect six charges and a lighter

    Explosives replace keys as the collection step. Place six charges, then use the lighter to set them off. Where the TNT and the lighter turn up.

  6. 6

    Blow the wall

    The wall is a pile of rocks where the rails end, under the Exit sign. There is no cutscene on the far side of it.

The Mines is the largest thing the developers have shipped since launch — see the update log for what came with it.
