    About the Game
    The Cave is a new adventure game from Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion creator Ron Gilbert, and Double Fine Productions, the award-winning studio behind Psychonauts and Brütal Legend.

    Assemble your team of three from seven unlikely adventurers, each with their own unique personalities and stories, then descend into the mysterious depths to explore locations including a subterranean amusement park and a medieval castle, not to mention a fully armed and ready-to-launch nuclear tipped ICBM. The Cave awaits.

    Key Features:
    Seamlessly Spelunk – Explore a ginormous completely seamless cave-world presented in astounding cross-section that will blow... your... mind.
    Assemble a team of 3 explorers – From the Hillbilly to the Time Traveller; all 7 characters have their own unique personalities, special talents and a dark and secret reason for descending The Cave.
    A Cave like no other – If you enjoy spelunking and dark rocky caverns then be prepared to be disappointed. Your first clue The Cave is a place like no other will be when you stumble across the subterranean amusement park or the medieval castle, not to mention the fully armed and ready to launch nuclear tipped missile.
    Let’s work together – Switch between the 3 characters, in cooperation with each other, and solve physical and adventure puzzles as you learn the truth behind why they are here. Share the cave exploring adventure with friends in local co-op.
    Unlock all the secrets of the cave – Replay the adventure with a new set of characters for a whole different experience including unique story, puzzles and areas of The Cave, plus hidden treasures (not redeemable for cash) and collectables.
    Watch the Cave come alive – Experience the detailed, stunning art style and humor that only Ron Gilbert and Double Fine can dream up.

    Pre-ordered faster than you can say pre-ordered.

    It's currently €13 on Steam and released next Friday, the 23rd.

    So you purchased?

    Given past patterns of your day 1 purchases, I will wait for a week so, when it will be down at 800msp. :D

    Ha it was a combination of it capturing my interest and liking the humor and absolutely needing a change from what I've been playing lately ........

    Enjoying this - imaginative setting and puzzles - but man there's a lot of backtracking and repetitive platforming when you have to try and get three characters in the same place. Come back Trine with your insta-switch, all is forgiven!

    Yeah loving that the puzzles require some thought but are not frustratingly difficult, but the back tracking in a couple of places was so long at times it made you stop and question if you were going too far back and that you might have missed something.

    I kept thinking I was missing a button that would instantly zoom the characters to another one's location? It just seems like a really peculiar oversight, especially since things like climbing ladders is irritatingly slow.
