The Kullman Mining Facility, also known as Kullman Mines, is a location in Slender: The Arrival and the main setting of its third chapter, "Into The Abyss".
Layout[]
It is an abandoned underground mining facility connected by a main tunnel and divided into blue, yellow, green and red sections. It also has a storage room, a turbine room, two stairwells leading up to the second floor, and a main room where the mine's emergency elevator is located. Miscellaneous rooms and hallways can also be found.
History[]
Kullman Mines was built following a deal the Kullman Mining Company made with the Oakside Development Group. It brought many jobs to Oakside Park but simultaneously drove people to move away from the location. During its many years of operation, many workers at Kullman Mines heard strange crying noises coming from deep within the mines. Though many search parties were activated, the source was never found. Eventually, Kullman Mines was closed down and left abandoned.

Trivia[]
- The facility (along with the company that owns it) is named after Cullman, Alabama - the hometown of one of the game's writers, Tim Sutton. Only replacing the 'C' with a 'K', the sound remains the same.
- The concept of Kullman Mines was influenced by MarbleHornets creator and a lead writer of The Arrival, Troy Wagner, who used to work as a steel mill cleaner in Alabama.
