    This weekend they will have this game on sale for 5 dollars. They have Linux client and its an independent studio. Looks like a cool scary game. They have a demo if you want to try. I am downloading the demo as I type this and see if its my type of game. The collection willl include all 3 games so in my book its a must buy.

    More info here

    Just beat the demo its a puzzle solving game. If you into Myst, and games where you have to solve, then thats the game for you.

    Yeah I finished the first 2 and it's pretty damn fun :p I definitely suggest you guys get it, especially for 5 bucks, it's a steal. I played on windows tho.

    No, there is an ugly dog running around and I have to hide when I see him on the corridors of the mine. In the storage room there was a box and i removed the 3 rocks inside the box, and found the trap door under it. The latter is missing and I am sure its probably in the equipment room, but that door is closed and havent found a way back in.

    I bought it. Didn't try the demo, and I'm not sure that I'll like it, but still, buying from such an awesome small company makes me feel good. :)

    Is that not the purpose for these kinds of purchases?

    Go down in the trap door and explore the tunnels. You'll eventually find a latter (to get back up) and a room with a fenced off area. The door in the fence is padlocked but use your hammer to break it. Poke around for items to pilfer. Also, make sure to turn the valve on the steam pipes to shut the steam off. Head on back to the trap door with the latter...
