About the game

A brutally challenging physics-horror caving game. Using only your hands, drag yourself down a suffocating cave system where every hold pulls you further into the darkness. Equal parts rage-game, claustrophobic nightmare, and descent into a forgotten folktale...

    Honestly, I'm just really digging the story and experience. It's hard to tell what's going to happen or even if something does but the little papers and some of the things that happen do a really good job at building tension and make you feel like you need to hurry up big time. Doesn't really feel like a rage game I think the controls are solid and it feels satisfying to solve puzzles or go ways that you know the…

    I enjoy caving in real life, so I thought a game called 'Cave Diver' would be about caving. It's a fun game about caving until it's no longer just about caving and tries too hard to be something else. The first stage is great, loved it, no complaints there. When you get to the mines (second stage) it turns into an annoying puzzle game where you collect ore to open doors. I'm not sure how this fits into a "horror"…
