The Cave

You find yourself deep within a dark cave, lit only by your light, a torch that barely pierces the darkness. It is up to you to find your way through the twisting passages and out into the open world. You cannot do this alone. Along the way you will find torches that will provide light when placed upon the sconces that dot your path. The further you go, the harder it will be to find the torches and make it through. Yet, you must carry on.

And, one last thing before you go. This isn't a game about a cave.

=========================================

The Cave is a game made for Ludum Dare 48 (Deeper and Deeper). You will interact and look around with the mouse, and you can move using the arrow keys or WASD. Pressing Escape (or the ` key) will bring up a menu where you can adjust the volume, how long messages remain on screen, and dark area brightness (provided in case your screen has issues with the dark areas in the game). By default, the starts in fullscreen mode, but you can use alt+enter to escape that and resize the window. Unfortunately, Unity discontinued the startup launcher in 2019 (unbeknownst to me) so there are no resolution or keymapping settings (sorry!).

This game was made in 48 hours, using Unity 2019.4.11f, The music was made using LMMS and additional instrument samples were provided by DSK Music with the Overture VST. All graphics were made in Blender and Paint .NET. Special thanks to IMG Online's seamless texture generator for texture stitching, and NormalMap-Online by Christian Petry for normal map generation. The font used in The Cave is called Philosopher and is an OFL font by Jovanny Lemonad.
