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

Current beta of the game features:

-Six floors of procedurally generated cave.

-Many different monsters, each with their own behavior.

-Weapons, potions and amulets with mystery-effects.

-Interactive features in the cave that can be both helpful and dangerous.

-Quick roguelike gameplay: Beat the game in your coffee-break or experience permadeath.

Some tips for beginners:
-Some monsters will chase you down, others won't. Learn which does what.
-Expect to die a lot. This is about learning.
-Use your surroundings to your advantage. Monsters have different sizes that affect how well they can traverse passages and how you can interact with them in some special rooms.
-Stay hydrated.
-Run away!
-The cave is likely much smaller than you think – draw a map.
