Choose your own CaveVenture
About
Choose your own CaveVenture is a crossbreed roguelike dungeon crawl dropping the player in the depths of an unknown cave with only one goal: Find a way out, or perish in the attempt. The game marries the concept of a randomized dungeon and emergent adventures with the principles of choose your own adventure-books: The world is that of a classic roguelike but seen through a text description that offers you all options of what you can do in any given situation.
Simple game play, deep mechanics and a mysterious cave full of monsters, mystical treasure and enigmatic shrines. Can you get to the exit alive or will this place be your tomb?
Newest additions: Key configuration, rest until something happens, monster health status messages, highly experimental Linux version
