A downloadable ROM

An adventure about spelunking that seems cute, and is absolutely lying to your face.

Made in GB Studio.

Caving is an attempt to put some things I love about Retro and Puzzle gaming together with twisted descriptions of the natural consequences of carelessness.

Mind your resources. Mind your step. Mind your time.

[Caving is a solo project from a novice and amateur, and my hope is to focus on developing and escalating the difficulty and interactivity of each of the cave's puzzles. No schedule set, I work on this in my free time.]
