SteamAbout Cave of Gurg
"Dark. Silent. Waiting."
This game is a text-based, turn-based strategy mini-game that runs entirely on the command line.
The player takes on the role of a hunter, exploring a mysterious cave and attempting to hunt down a terrifying man-eating creature known as the "Gurg."
In this game, understanding your surroundings through messages that appear after each action is the key to survival and victory.
The Cave:
•
The cave consists of several rooms, each assigned a unique number.
•
While the overall structure of the cave is fixed, the room numbers are randomly assigned in each playthrough.
•
In addition to the "Gurg," two "giant bats" lurk somewhere in the cave. Yes, two of them.
The Hunter:
•
Armed only with a bow and three arrows, the hunter bravely challenges the Gurg.
•
Victory is achieved by striking the Gurg with an arrow.
•
However, if the hunter is eaten by the Gurg, falls into a pit, or runs out of arrows, the game is over.
Play Time:
•
Each play session takes approximately 1 to 10 minutes.
Notes:
•
The introductory game guide can be skipped. For details, please check the “option” menu in-game.
•
The application relies on the user's command line environment.
•
There is no audio output.
