Cave Escape
Steam
In Cave Escape you are perpetually trying to escape the dangers looming within the darkness of the caves you have found yourself in. Players find themselves in a maze-like dark cave with only a torch in-hand to illuminate their path. The goal is to find the exit on each level within the given timeframe.
Each level is procedurally generated using a seed value. This means each level can be replied while allowing for a huge number of levels for replayability.
Your torch has limited fuel and is fading fast. Escape before it extinguishes!
As the player's light diminishes, their anxiety level increases. This gives them a speed boost at the expense of precision.
