About
The Cave Diver is equal parts rage-game, psychological horror, and folklore nightmare.
A rage-inducing descent into darkness, built around unconventional hand-based controls and a story buried deep beneath the earth.
The suffocating rocks of the caves are slowly closing in to claim another soul.
Keep crawling... You're almost there...
Cave dive through a labyrinth of crushing stones and constricting passageways. Branching tunnels will lure you into claustrophobic passages where turning back seems physically impossible.
Hammer crude signs into the stone to track your descent into the caves. With every new body, the cave grows familiar. The marks of those who came before remain…
The caves are no place for the living. Getting stuck means dying alone, entombed in rock. No one is coming to save you. When you return as a new cave diver, you might stumble upon your predecessor's decayed remains - if you can reach them.
Master the movement and grip of your two hands to carefully navigate obstacles and overcome physics puzzles. Every movement is perfected through failure. Only the obsessive, the patient, and the insane make it deeper.
For generations your family has told stories of a rare flower that grows at the bottom of these caves. They say the flower can cure any ailment - even paraplegia of the legs . But every man who's entered the caves has failed to return... Some say the cave itself takes them... Others speak of something ancient that stirs below - an evil older than man himself...

Cave diving has got to be the worst hobby out there, 10/10 would do it again
재밌는데 너무 힘들어요... 중간에 낑기면 진짜 답없음 이아저씨의 해피엔딩이 제발 보고싶은데 볼수가없어요
Game mechanics are awesome, story is great, the ending gave me goosebumps. Ragey game a certain parts but love how it is fun at the same time

Absolutely no indication of where you're surpossed to go further in the game.
If you're looking for a foddian with a unique premise and an interesting plot, you've found it.
This was a fun experience, challenging at points, with some areas that took close to a dozen attempts to get through, but still less rage inducing then "Getting Over It" I can also say. I loved the sound and the graphics, and was happy to be able to make it through without dying, though there were a few very close calls. Also of note, googling info on a few of the challenges gets some wonky results. Like I did the silver our achievement, but didn't get it until I logged out of the game. So I was wondering if I did something wrong, and the google ai is like yeah you have to take all the silver to the starting shack, not possible I might add. Thankfully it was just a delayed steam achievement and not a broken one.
가끔.. 삶이 너무 안온하다면.. 이런 게임으로 고통을 받는것도 나쁘지 않다고 생각한다.. 시1발..
Good rage horror game. creepy atmosphere. my hand hurts now. my only criticism is sometimes the game decided that you're no longer grabbing an object and you'll fall about 200 times. just a weird glitch I'm sure can be patched out ;) 3/5

this game is really fun and the Movement is unique and original. and for 8$ its a STEAL i was expecting 20 from the trailer alone this game is so good
