The Dark Cave

In a location with such little light, the creatures within The Dark Cave have evolved to use sound as a means to navigate their environment and find prey.

You play as a creature with eyes from outside the caves. Use sound to attract light sources and make dangerous creatures think you’re somewhere else.

mmmmmm, a very short game, got scared at the end with the spider chasing me 😥 

but its still a cool game 👍

When I seen the cover photo, I thought Ooh looks like Limbo! I'm surprised no one has commented on this; this is really cool! I admit, I didn't fully read the instructions, but I understood the concept when it counted. I especially love the save feature. 


High 5 rating from me!

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you liked it! Quite a few people have compared it to Limbo now - glad you found it playable without the instructions too! :)
