Hey everyone, I’m Julian, the creator of A Dark Cave.
The game is in very active development. I ship updates almost daily. Systems evolve, mechanics shift, balance changes, and new features are constantly being added. If you played a few weeks ago, the experience today is vastly different.
I’d love your feedback! whether it’s about the UI, mechanics, pacing, balance, or feature ideas. Honest feedback is very welcome. I already got tons of it on Reddit, which helped shape the game a lot!

Please keep in mind that the game evolves quickly. Older feedback may reflect a version that no longer exists.
Regarding monetization: I wanted the game to remain free, so I introduced optional in-game purchases. Nothing is required to play. I know monetization can be a sensitive topic, so I want to be transparent about it.
I’m also considering bringing the game to Steam as a one-time purchase. That would remove the free-to-play model entirely. I’d really appreciate your thoughts on which direction feels better.
Thanks for checking out my game!
