in the lake mine and I've noticed something weird? Time normally stops in the mines, but sometimes it sneaks forward--maybe when moving from level to level, or possibly when reloading my save after finding the ladder down? However, it didn't happen on the first few levels down or the first few save & reload cycles. I'm not sure if it was 9:40 or 9:50, but I started out mining definitely before 10, losing stamina only, then I noticed around lv16 that each swing was costing me stamina + fatigue and it was 10pm.
Does anyone know of anything that makes time pass in the mines, or if this is a glitch?

Time does in fact pass in the mines, just very slowly compared to the rest of the game. I think I noticed every so many floors it would progress a little bit more, but I don't remember a specific number of floors off the top of my head.

I went mining yesterday and I noticed that time passed after I fell a pitfall.
