Finished the game in under an hour. For a couple of bucks I was truly terrified. There may be room for more than one playthrough but once was enough for me. I had an issue with clipping into walls when I got too close which made it even more scary. The controls on PC are also not explained and not adjustable. My default movement controls were not WASD which was very frustrating though I was able to figure it out through trial and error. The clunky movement also added to the fear factor. Not sure if it was intended. I feel like I got my moneys worth.

The light
Statues are stopped by light. Your lantern is your best tool at your disposal, you will need to be mindful when using it to progress further in the cave.The Statues
Two statue archetypes are present in the cave and will try to plunge you into darkness forever: normal statues and their light variant. They will progressively come after you, pushing you in an ever increasing paranoia.The Artefacts
Your objective is represented through 6 artefacts you will have to assemble at the exit to allow you to flee. The difficulty of the cave is directly linked to your progress, it's up to you to put all the chances on your side.The cave
It shows, by its environment, the traces of a forgotten, glorious and mysterious civilization. Its people are today constrained in cursing the cave and preventing you from leaving them down here.The team

User Reviews
Great experience. Still a little buggy, but for this price it is worth it
i very much enjoyed this game it was so creepy it had me looking all the time to sure i was not being followed i also love the images that appear
This was incredibly enjoyable. Loved the atmosphere, the sense of dread, an overarching feeling of tension and danger, it nailed a the feeling of being truly alone deep underground in a cave system man was not meant to visit. I'd love to see this expanded upon. Excellent work developers and I'm looking forward to seeing what else they make! https://youtu.be/qab04mB2spg

crashed a fair bit but may have just been a very harsh way of telling me i died. i painted my underpants brown.
Nice atmosphere, simple to play/understand. I love the Super Mario Ghost mechanics applied to a properly creepy atmosphere, with a darkness-only-message twist. All in all, a really fun game - I made it through 1/2 a run (3/6) in under 15 minutes, and I'm looking forward to pick it back up soon.
Neat little game with a spooky look to it, probably particularly fun for the Doctor Who fans among us. Pretty simple set-up but it's randomised each time.
First of all, I REALLY enjoyed this game. It is a really nice, creepy, stressful horror game. The visions are a really nice touch and the statues were great! The problem is that it crashed in the middle of my first playthrough with a fatal error. Then when I recorded the game and looked at my recording, it's lagging A LOT. It would be nice to be able to adjust the graphics etc. (i dont have a bad comp AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core CPU NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3070 GPU RAM 32GB) Otherwise, the game was good, it stressed me out, i like that! Would've linked to a video but it's useless because of the lag unfortunately.
