Hey there! Just saw some gamplay of this and love the atmosphere you created, very inspiring! I have about 8 years of music production experience and I would love to produce your music/create the foley needed to push your atmosphere to the next level. If you are ever working on a new project I would love to amplify your mix!
Hello! I recently completed a review of your game for my Youtube series “The First 15”! I’ve placed a link to the video down below, please check it out and jeep at it!
It took a little while but I finally managed to reach the end. That was one hell of an adventure, haha. There's definitely some scary things hiding down in those caves. I had some issues with the frame rate in some spots. It might have been related to one of the glowsticks, or maybe something on my end. Nothing game breaking though. Thank you for another scary-as-hell game! You're one of the best!
Thanks for feedback and for playing as always and congratz on reaching the ending! Just wait till you see what i have in store next! (Hint: going back to my photorealism ways for next project )
beautiful game! A proposal ... wouldn't it be better to remove the VHS filter from view? the game has great graphics but the VHS kind of spoils it .. it's just a proposition. Good game!
*EDIT* Cavephobia Full Game HD Cam Remake is now out!
Thanks glad you enjoy it. Well it is intended and a part of my style with the game but what i was thinking about was maybe doing a HD CAM Version ( imagine a newer camera etc ) So it would still make sense story wise. Thanks for the suggestion though.
The game's interesting as always. Though I had a point when I respawned after I died, I was instantly spawncamped by the monster. I'd suggest moving those monster away from the player spawn area. Otherwise, decent game.
*EDIT* Check latest balance update Thanks for playing and thanks for your feedback! I'll look into that also remember you can save manually from pause menu so you don't have to rely only on auto, btw the reason there isn't much lore this time around is i focused only on survival horror this time, you do have a navigational compass / coordinates and the different colored glow sticks you can find ( which are from previous explorers who didn't make it ), also there is only 1 ending. None the less, your feedback is very helpful so thanks again! ( Try looking for a chain down in the maze like statue / spore area to progress ).
Thanks for playing you we're pretty close to figuring it out, in the maze like room with the spores and statues you need to find a chain going down deeper below, nice job finding the secret mayan temple room. Hope you make it out and have fun!
So you're back after the station game, I will say Thank you for the inspiration I made a game similair to this style and It got just as much attention <3
This was really scary but also really fun! I made a video so I hope you enjoy it also I managed to accidentally glitched through the ceiling and saw the outside lol it's at 31:05
That was a glitch indeed, seemed due to the floor changing level / the exact moment you stood up, interesting, at least you didn't fall through anything. Anyway thanks for playing glad you enjoyed, hope you make it out for real!
This game is basically everything I hate rolled up into a well-designed little ball... So very good job hitting on so many fears at once, and thanks for sharing with us!
I did not expect this!!! What a grand, delicious piece of cake this game is!! Wonderfully executed visuals, tensed atmosphere, well-done mechanics and most of all the unbelievable eerie atmosphere, I mean, what else do you want in a horror game! This has been a great experience, you can definitely see me being jumped by the monster on many occasions in the playthrough. I loved the sound design too, even thou at some point I could not hear the monster, even when it was close. The cave systems are a little bit tricky, I guess that's the difficult part of the game and it's subjective to review, so, besides that, really superb game. I will try to finish the game on my own, really looking forward to some more action, rather than just being chased. Keep going with your work Azaxor, good good good!
Thanks for playing! Yeah Ive put a lot of work into the environment and mechanics. It is a bit hard but like you said thats part of the design, you do have a compass and some navigational coordinates, the idea is to use the different glow sticks you find to mark areas etc. Btw the map is a lot bigger then what you've explored so far and there is actually 10 variants of monsters including a boss deep below and ofc many other dangers. Hope you manage to make it to the end cutscene. Cheers! Have fun :)

Pretty great, but it did seem to lose its edge by the end. Fewer creatures to fear the further you go.
Seems like you got lucky, the game has 10+ creatures + the boss like one in the end. Thanks for playing anyway.
If Vanish didn't make give you motion sickness, THIS GAME SURE WILL! And if you were scared at one type of monster, THEY GOT EVEN MORE!
It's like all the things that I hate wrapped into one game. Love it. 10/10 would suffer again

Hi, How did you do the vhs effect? I am trying to do it for my game too but I am stuck.

Great game, man!

Thanks for playing, oh there is music later down below, I wanted to focus on the atmospheric sounds mostly. Cheers
Minimum specs?
Medium / Decent PC.
You can adjust quality settings inside the game through ESC > Options.
