Never Ending Cave is a short horror game made in 72 hours for the Ludum Dare 48 Event. In this game you wake up in a cave. You soon realise that you are not alone in the cave and you have to find a way to get out. A 15-20 minutes long horror game. If you enjoy playing it leave a comment :D

Really good mood, the game seems to have a lot of content, I only finished chapter 1 though. The caves look really nice as well.

@choppers The game doesn't really have a lot of content. There is only 1 more chapter after chapter 1 and it takes like 5 minutes xD Thanks for playing!

Wow! Very cool game! You should really add some screenshots to this page so people won't skip it that much.

The game looks good but I cant handle horror games. I'm stuck on the 3rd level/floor.

I enjoyed this! The graphics were nice, had me immerse in the game from the beginning. The sound effects were top-notch, especially the elevator sounds, I thought they were so nerve-wrecking. I've tried a couple of other horror games from this jam and this one is the first one that had me at the edge of my seat, especially after I encountered the monster for the first time. Gameplay wasn't necessarily innovating, but great vibes, great setting, and surprisingly intense. Curious to find out how the game would proceed from here!

Very moody. I felt hopelessly lost in the 3rd level down, but I imagine that's the point. Good job!

Soooo creapy. The slow walking gave it suspense but I wish there was a sprint button as well. The viuals were very beautiful even if they were spooky.

So pollished! This is stunning for a jam game. I did get lost on level 3 and wasn't able to find the fuse. Mood was 5/5 for me!

The menu screen looked awesome. The footsteps were so loud it took me out of the game. (They do not seem to be connected with a slider in the options) The enemy SFX and movement were a little more funny than scary as well.

Neat - you'll be glad to know you're in the itch.io suggestions that's how I found your game :)
It's great as a tech demo 1st of all - the realization is neat, the dieplacement is very responsive - though i wish I could have ran or jumped
I was super impressed by your settings menu - didn't expect that from a game jam game! But then it's a shame you can't re-bind the controls - ex.: for Azerty keyboards for the french speakers out there ;)

So I got to the battery, picked it up, turned around, saw the titan~teddy bear walk towards me - I walkrd back, fell and realized...
that you threw away a completely valid opportunity ti use the wilhelm scream in yout game jam game!
dude!
shame - real thamt :-S
^^# - good job there - impressive for 48h - GG :-D

Great game! It's well polished, and honestly feels like a short horror game that someone might have spent much more time on than just a weekend. The tasks were nice, and despite being a lot of walking around it was pretty entertaining. You had enough going on everywhere to keep me entertained as I ventured "deeper and deeper" into the cave. I feel like the jumpscare of the monster could have been a bit creepier, but it was by no means bad. Overall I really liked this game. Well done!

Nicely designed levels, but... Terrible walking speed - it looks more like crawling, and running with SHIFT key seems to be the correct walking speed. Also, that head bobbing script should be printed and exorcised - it looks like the hero has some kind of convulsions and can't walk straight. I also missed the automap terribly - if you're doing a horror game, especially when everything around looks very similar and is a maze - the first thing is some sort of map. In terms of narrative, there's some strong twist-style element missing.

The atmosphere was very nice, and because I've been playing "phasmophobia", the walking speed didn't faze me very much.
Got stuck after falling down the hole, and could not find a radio/working elevator on the floor... wondering if this is a bug?

@oco When you fell there was an elevator behind you. You had to grab the wrench take the elevator that takes you back where you found the fuse and then go back to the radio. Thanks for trying my game :)
