I'm gonna say no only because I had to set the game on Easy mode with no monsters to reach the ending. Rating: 5/10

Down the shaft is a creepy first person horror game that I found surprisingly effective at creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. I am sent down into a mine where an Elder God is being kept contained, and my job is to make sure the machines responsible for keeping it trapped continue working. It sounds like a fairly simple maintenance job, but obviously this is not a normal mine. The deeper I get, the more obvious it...
