About this game

Developer description

Quoted from the Steam store page. Read the full description

Survive the darkness. Build your settlement. You wake with no memory at the entrance of a cave. A small fire is all that stands between you and the dark. A Dark Cave is a text-based, story-driven survival, settlement-building, and incremental adventure where every decision matters. Inspired by the minimalist incremental classics, A Dark Cave trades flashy graphics for intense atmosphere, discovery, and meaningful choices. Build a thriving village, uncover ancient secrets, and descend ever deeper into a world that becomes more dangerous the stronger you grow. Outlast a cruel world. Uncover the dark past. Build a thriving settlement. Construct and upgrade buildings, assign villagers to specialized jobs, and expand your village so it can endure. Master complex production chains. Turn time and raw materials into tools, weapons, and powerful items while juggling trade-offs, because nothing is ever quite enough. Explore the cave. Uncover what lies deep within the cave and reveal the secrets of the lost civilization. Defend what you've built.…
