Our take on The Cavern

The bounce point arrives before the first puzzle: room-scale VR is not an optional presentation layer but the required way to play. Even players interested in the treasure hunt will hit a wall if their available space or equipment cannot support room-scale interaction.

What is The Cavern?

Explore a cavern in a room-scale virtual reality puzzle-adventure.

Progress through four main rooms that protect an ancient treasure, investigating multiple puzzles and challenges along the way. Solving riddles and examining the environment leads deeper into the cavern and reveals its hidden history. Fully voice-acted notes left by earlier explorers provide their stories, while equipment they abandoned can be used during the investigation. The game focuses on room-scale VR interaction, puzzle solving, environmental exploration, and uncovering a treasure connected to the cavern’s secrets.
