—Exploring the forest quickly turns into a nightmare, as you fall through the ground into an enourmous cave. Having no way but forward, you continue through the massive cavern, being met with hostility from the local wildlife, and exploring a lost human civilization, destroyed by an unknown force...
Cleithrophobia is a short but sweet 2d pixel-art adventure game set in a huge cave, spanning hundreds of miles.
Explore the dark depths of the earth, and all the secrets that it holds. From undiscovered, almost alien lifeforms, to long lost human civilizations, this cave holds more secrets than you could ever imagine.


Though it may seem barren at first, the cave is teeming with life around every corner. Some of them may be friendly, but thanks to the extreme environment found within the caverns walls, most of them aren't looking to make friends.


You are not the first one to find this cave. Far from it. A long lost civilization once called these hallow walls home, yet now, their all gone. What could have happened to them? How can you avoid ending up like them?


Due to the huge size of the cave, you are able to find different climates inside. From the icy cold wasteland of the main cave, to the sprawling lava tunnels deep underground, you must adapt and overcome these challenges if you ever want to see the light of day again.
