About the Game

This is a short (~30 minutes) first-person psychological horror game set in a deep, dark cave.

Cave exploring is a common practice. But what happens when you overstep your boundaries? The suffocating jaws of a tight cave don't let go as easily as they grab hold of you. Deployed as part of a rescue effort, you must explore the depths of Deep Den Cave and discover what happened to the last explorer that ventured down its path. Don't get lost.

Features

  • A beautiful hand-crafted cave environment to navigate.
  • First-person caving mechanics. You'll need to repel down ropes, throw flares, and crawl your way through the game.
  • Scary events and suspenseful moments.
  • 4 (?) Analog horror tapes to discover.
  • A disturbing mystery for you to unravel.
