Explore the forgotten history and deepest, darkest secrets of The Lost Cave of the Ozarks.

As the unfortunate boy who fell into a sinkhole in the 1880s, use your trusty lantern and vivid imagination to survive the dangers that dwell deep in the heart of the Lost Cave.  But beware – not only does the cave become more and more treacherous as you struggle to escape, but the boy’s prolonged isolation serves as a catalyst to his overactive imagination, causing reality and fantasy to become indiscernible.  To make matters worse, several threatening messages found throughout the cave suggest you might not be alone in the cave after all.  In the present day, join the mysterious tour guide and attempt to shed more light on the Lost Cave’s enigmatic history.

Will an outlaw’s bias, a young boy’s imagination, and a tour guide’s research be enough to help you discover the truth hidden inside the Lost Cave?
