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...

This is by far one of the most frustrating experiences I've ever had. Honestly the worst hardship I've ever subjected myself to. I would sooner eat rocks with a side of glass then pick up this game again. Please Heed my warning. 6/10
wow
手抜きで作ったから操作性が悪いことを高難易度と言うな。洞窟探索という詐欺。返金希望。なんなら100倍にして返せ。
Mixed feelings, but overall a solid climber with a mystique narrative that compels the player forward. As a rage-game fanatic, I completed this game in one run that lasted just under 5 hours. The only real complaint I have is that the ending felt weak, as themes of curbing greed did not really tie in well. I guess it's implied that if you continue to ascend you die, and live if you ascend, but the way the game just fades to black as you control the player just feels like the experience got cut short due to the devs just being ready to wrap it up and call it a day.
really wanted to like this game because i dig the sound design and overall aesthetic but it genuinely gives me hand cramps on either control schemes and just isnt that fun. a shame.
Boring.
Trueクリアしました 約9時間です 最初はまだ令和のQWOPねぇとかいう感覚で遊んでたんですが次第に水や遠心力の移り飛びなどの操作テクを求められちゃんとホラーでわいはむせび泣いた ホラーはダメなんだって! でもストーリーの根幹に近づいた時にぐっとくるものも感じ情緒不安定になりました。皆さんもクリアした時には、何かを感じてくれるものがあるかもしれません
