DownCave

You enter a cave with only a 30 second flashlight. You're looking for something. You need to go further down.

You're walking into a trap.

An atmospheric journey into darkness and hopelessness with a disturbing twist. For fans of narrative-rich and suspenseful horror games like Amnesia or SCP: Containment Breach

I made this game in 2 days as a personal challenge. My goal was to appeal to fans of subtle, psychological horror, with a gradual buildup of heavy atmospheric tension and a very strong narrative, inspired by my own experiences with isolation and mental illness, that slowly unveils itself over time and has an unexpected twist.

The game is about an hour long. Please be careful as you only have one life and there are no checkpoints. You are meant to play through the game in one sitting. It is recommended you play in a dark room with headphones on and the volume turned up.

It's called DownCave because you go down a cave.

CONTENT WARNING:

Maybe don't play this if you have a very strong reaction to claustrophobia, spiders, darkness, or caves in general. Please be careful if you're sensitive to light because you will be turning a flashlight on and off frequently. However there aren't any points where you are exposed to flashing lights outside of your control.

INSTRUCTIONS:

WASD + Mouse to move.

CTRL to crouch.

E to interact.

F for flashlight.

ESC to exit the game.

SPACEBAR to struggle.

You can survive any fall where you can see the bottom with your flashlight.
