About the Game

Explore a procedurally-generated subterranean world in The Shifting Cavern! Solve puzzles, fight monsters, and help fellow adventurers as you journey to the bottom of the ever-changing Cavern and unravel its mysteries.

Adventure Awaits

Encounter and defeat a variety of monsters as you delve deeper into the Cavern. Solve puzzles and evade traps to progress through the complex cave system. The enemies you find will grow more dangerous as you go deeper, but you too will become more powerful, learning new skills and forging new weapons. You are not the only adventurer, or even the first. You'll meet people from all walks of life united by their desire to understand the Cavern. Each time you fail, the terrain will become unfamiliar, different somehow...

Unravel Mysteries

Rumors are told on every street corner about the mysterious Cavern and those who go to explore, plunder, or seek answers. Shadowy figures lurk around every bend and strange devices gleam, recently activated. Can you decipher the artifacts littering the ground, or is it all meaningless junk? Will you trust fellow explorers, help those crying out in fear?
