About CaveFiction


"Cave Fiction" is a personally developed "game" that I, the author, refer to as a game for convenience. However, in reality, it is a monstrous creation born from my realm of sad, arrogant, and foolish consciousness.



Getting back to the point, what kind of game is this exactly?



The game tells the story of a protagonist who repeatedly "wakes up" in a dream and experiences absurd and inexplicable "strange things" before finally returning to their room in the dream and escaping from the virtual world back to reality.
"It" has all the elements of a normal AVG: romance, adventure, betrayal, puzzle-solving, and even some suggestive content.
However, "It" deviates from the typical AVG formula. Its storytelling is fragmented and more personal, its plot is a fictional "realistic" story, and it has a cliffhanger ending.

The game is divided into 4+1 chapters, and designed with multiple endings. The end of the game does not mean the complete conclusion of the story, but rather the beginning of returning to the real world and extending the consciousness in reality.



The name of "it" is derived from a classic metaphor in Plato's philosophy, making it a manic modern story within a classical narrative framework. Although the story content is not very long to adapt to the fast pace of modern society, it is thick enough to support each player to find happiness.


Due to the fact that the game is personally developed, I, the author, have tried my best to ensure the "exquisiteness" of the game's graphics. This "exquisiteness" may lie somewhere between modern popular aesthetics and strong personal style, even forcibly subverting the popular aesthetic.
Of course, aesthetics vary from person to person, just like the poetry of Baudelaire.
Every person living in modern society is like a squirrel in the city, living in the urban forest, wearing the skin of modernism over the primitive classic lifestyle.
Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys it.

I am speechless. I hate this, I hate the world, I hate dreaming, I hate myself, everyone should just rot in a cave and disappear, I truly hated this so much. Solid game! Can't say I managed to follow the plot very well but I certainly felt the message (I think). The graphics and general presentation are very memorable and expressive, establishing a highly surreal and distressingly dreamlike ambience. Unfortunately the game's short duration doesn't allow much room for thoroughly articulating the introduced themes and concepts, but I still enjoyed how the writing handled it. Additionally I quite liked the interactive elements, although I find it rather difficult to navigate towards some achievements. Not even sure if this story is meant to be taken as a serious critique or an absurdistic parody (I suppose a bit of both??), but either way it left me entertained and eager for more. It was an interesting and impressive experience, despite being frustratingly abrupt at times lol.

Just got through one of the 3 endings in just over an hour. It's a visual novel with a very appealing visual aspect full of dithering. Based on Plato's allegory of the cavern, the story is a very cool critique of modern society. Note that it has no fullscreen or options, intentionally, as the point is to remind you that you are behind a screen, although this can be corrected with Borderless Gaming.
