About This Game

As the unfortunate boy who fell into a sinkhole in the 1880s, use your trusty lantern and vivid imagination to survive the dangers that dwell deep in the heart of the Lost Cave. But beware – not only does the cave become more and more treacherous as you struggle to escape, but the boy’s prolonged isolation serves as a catalyst to his overactive imagination- causing reality and fantasy to become indiscernible. To make matters worse, several threatening messages found throughout the cave suggest you might not be alone in the cave after all. In the present day, join the mysterious tour guide and attempt to shed more light on the Lost Cave’s enigmatic history.

Will an outlaw’s bias, a young boy’s imagination, and a tour guide’s research be enough to help you discern the truth hidden inside the Lost Cave?

The Lost Cave of the Ozarks features:
• Unique puzzle-solving platforming rife with exploration, sparks of action, and several hidden secrets to discover
• Play as characters from the present day and the 1880s to experience the ambiguously grim history of the Lost Cave
• Story-rich narrative weaves together three mysterious characters’ stories – each with an unreliable point-of-view – that not only takes you on a journey to the past and present, but also from the wooded Ozark Mountains and caves, to the pirate-infested high seas, the majestic Mount Olympus, eerie Egyptian temples, and more!
• Secret alternate story endings
• Hand-painted, stylized visuals with diverse settings and characters
• Fantastic, emotional, and dynamic soundtrack sets the mood and fluidly transforms along with the player’s progress
• Minimalist U.I shifts players' focus to the environment via visual and audio cues

First I had to rename the exe in order to launch it, because the dev made a small configuration mistake with the exe name. But once it got working I wasn't thrilled. The framerate is really too low and it's not really playable on my integrated GFX laptop. Next time the dev should chose a game engine that doesn't suck, and maybe not use a ton of particles and light effects on every screen, because there is no reason I should use a" gamer-PC" to run this game.

The Lost Cave of the Ozarks hits the mark aesthetically, but there are some gameplay and design misses that make it a bit of a grind to play. The Good: The visuals of this game are where it really shines; The game is beautifully illustrated and the visuals are very well done technically. You can tell the environments are hand-crafted and do a good job of filling out the setting. The backgrounds move fluidly and really give you a sense of the space you are exploring. The music is also very nice and fits the game very well. The characters in the game are all very well designed and animated, really giving you an original, distinct, cohesive style. The boss battles in particular are very memorable and some of the best moments in the game (as long as they aren't chasing you...) There are some interesting mechanics at play and some original puzzle ideas that I hadn't seen before. Using the lantern as a way to indicate stamina level was a really great idea. (though I have other ...
