The Miner

The Miner is the playable protagonist of The Bunker memory in Residence Massacre. Fans also meet him as the Lakeview Ghost on Night 3 during Halloween windows.

Appearance and aliases

Classic look: grey shirt, dark pants, orange safety vest, mining hat, pickaxe on the back. Badge art may show a smile; the Miner outfit uses a bored face. Aliases you will see in Index or chat:

  • Lakeview Ghost — Halloween Night 3 bench near cabin 3 campfire.
  • Vessel — Bloodmoon Bunker outfit route (Purgatory badge) after Outfit Changes.

He is one of the few outside characters you can play as, alongside Lead Factory Worker in Mansion Incident.

Biography (short, spoiler-aware)

The Miner worked the bunker under Lakeview Camp as an operator/excavator. Crew expansion woke The Abomination. Most of the crew died while he slept. Waking near 11 PM to fuel the generator, he finds thick air, bodies, and a ventilation crisis — then a night-long hide-and-call loop until a 6 AM distress signal. The Abomination and later The Stalker presence turn the ending lethal; soldiers still triangulate the call, which is why Night 3’s ending patrol cares about bunker intel and the Lead Factory Worker photo wall.

Halloween ghost lines like “Deep within the bunker, a heart is still beating” and “Are you willing to share his eyes?” are the diegetic invite into the memory. Accepting starts The Bunker from that event route; lobby cars remain the standing queue method year-round.

How playing as the Miner feels

Bunker gameplay borrows night survival — generator, hiding, cameras — then adds:

  • Sound meter — loud play aggroes Abomination differently with lights on vs off.
  • Camera flash and Flare tools to slow or peel the threat.
  • Tablet / hole coverage objectives for badges like Home Alone.
  • Radio timing — early calls fail; the story beat lands at 6 AM.

Read The Bunker for room-by-room survival. Equip lobby tools from Coins Shop when allowed; after Hello World, buy the Flare Gun for future runs.

Co-op tips when one player “is” the Miner

In public Bunker lobbies everyone is the Miner fantasy, but callouts still matter:

  • “Sound” — one player watches the meter while others move.
  • “Flash ready” — camera discipline before hallway peeks.
  • “Bed hide” — heartbeat QTE after line-of-sight breaks.
  • “6 AM radio” — do not soft-lock earlier; play the objective clock.

The Miner is the reason the bunker feels personal. Clear Hello World once, unlock Flare Gun, then decide whether Solid Snake or Purgatory is your next Index tick.
