When you see the clips of it edited together as each of the miners returns to the surface and they have 5 seconds or 3 seconds of each of their faces you don't get that real sense of how long that actually took. And so the game was able to express that the way other stories couldn't." Source: journalism.co.uk, October 21, 2011
