GAMEPLAY

• If danger approaches, shine the light directly on it. It may move away... maybe.

• Break, pass, move forward... But your shovel is weak — you can only break through 2 stones at most.

• Some things are invisible to the eye. But the light from the watch makes them visible.

• This light not only reveals secrets but also illuminates your path. But use it carefully... There's a cooldown.

• The watch senses approaching danger. If the red light turns on... Be prepared.

• Face the terrifying creatures lurking in the depths of the dark mine. Prepare for the peak of fear!
