gameplay4 positive mentions
optimization1 negative mentions
  • Highly immersive and realistic cave exploration and climbing mechanics that capture the claustrophobic and tense atmosphere of real caving.
  • Detailed recreations of famous caves like Nutty Putty with authentic audio tours and representational environments providing educational and emotional experiences.
  • Smooth locomotion and climbing controls that feel natural, with good sound design and solid graphics enhancing the VR spelunking experience.
  • The game content is quite limited and short, leading to repetitiveness and low replayability, especially in the story mode and some levels.
  • The Steam/PCVR version suffers from lack of updates and content compared to other platforms, with bugs, glitches, and poor optimization impacting gameplay.
  • Certain gameplay aspects like flashlight battery life, controls for tools, and some design choices (e.g., mandatory objectives with no early warning) cause frustration and reduce immersion.

  • story

    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    9% positive mentions, 82% neutral mentions, 9% negative mentions

    The story is generally regarded as short and somewhat repetitive, primarily serving to teach game mechanics rather than delivering a deep narrative, with the six story missions taking around 90 minutes to complete. While immersive and complementing exploration, some players found glitches and desired more documentary or contextual content, especially in the tour mode. Despite its brevity, the story mode is appreciated for its atmosphere and is seen as a good value addition alongside upcoming multiplayer and additional content.

    • “The storyline is decent.”
    • “I enjoyed playing through story mode, but it was very short, even though I got high exploration percentages on almost every map.”
    • “As of right now the 6 story missions are about 90 minutes to complete in total. The future looks very promising with water caves and multiplayer coming soon. This game has lots of potential and for only $15, it's definitely worth picking up if you like this type of game.”
    • “I get the idea for this with cave exploration but it gets really repetitive super quick; if you want to play for the story, you're not missing much.”
    • “Lastly, it took me less than 4 hours to beat story mode (with a lot of getting lost and going around in circles).”
    • “Story 6/10; it's mostly just to teach the mechanics.”

  • gameplay

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    29% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions

    The gameplay is generally satisfying, immersive, and intuitive, with solid mechanics like crawling, climbing, and breathing, though some find certain elements strenuous or unfun. While the game lacks a dedicated tutorial and could benefit from additional difficulty or accessibility options, the core experience remains engaging despite feeling a bit short. Some mechanics, like time pressure, feel inconsistent with the game's slower, thoughtful pace.

    • “It's a bit strenuous on my triceps with all the crawling you have to do, but the mechanics and gameplay are really satisfying and immersive.”
    • “Gameplay 8/10, a little short right now but more to come.”
    • “There is a rope mechanic in the game right now, but it's basically just for hooking into pitons and then descending (and ascending) holes that are too tricky to climb.”
    • “Button scheme is perfectly acceptable, things feel natural and intuitive enough, although I think the game could have benefited from an actual, dedicated training level to get used to the mechanics rather than purely making the player learn them on the fly.”
    • “You still have plenty of time to actually complete caves without having to rush, but it's an oddly pressing part of the gameplay that feels at odds with its slower, more pensive atmosphere.”

  • atmosphere

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 40% negative mentions

    The atmosphere is praised for its authentic, oppressive, and claustrophobic feel that effectively conveys isolation and unease. However, some elements like amateurish voice acting and awkward writing slightly detract from the immersion. Overall, the mood complements the exploration gameplay, creating a compelling and tense experience.

    • “The atmosphere is authentic and oppressive; it really makes you feel confined and smushed into these claustrophobic tunnels.”
    • “The whole game is breathing this atmosphere of isolated unease that's really interesting to go through.”
    • “Awesome atmosphere and the climbing/crawling feels great.”
    • “The amateurish voice acting hurts the atmosphere in some places, and the writing has this weird, not-quite-correct syntax that's off-putting.”
    • “You still have plenty of time to actually complete caves without having to rush, but it's an oddly pressing part of the gameplay that feels at odds with its slower, more pensive atmosphere.”

  • emotional

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game effectively evokes a strong emotional experience, blending feelings of fear, solitude, and catharsis through its immersive cave diving simulation. Players report unexpected emotional highs and a deep sense of tension, enhancing the overall impact.

    • “While I may emphasize this aspect, as an overall simulation of cave diving - while I have no real world comparison, it certainly left an impression of a difficult, solitary, and eventually cathartic series of emotional highs encapsulated in a fabulous simulation.”
    • “I'm not really claustrophobic, but this made me feel pangs of fear I didn't know were in me.”
    • “I can only imagine the family of the young man who passed in the cave going through this and becoming emotional.”

  • graphics

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users praise the game's graphics as immersive and visually impressive, highlighting detailed environments like underwater caves. The visuals contribute significantly to the overall experience, earning high marks such as 10/10. Some minor glitches do not detract from the generally excellent graphic quality.

    • “The graphics look great and the physics are good, with immersive underwater caves and promising multiplayer features.”
    • “The graphics are great and complement the game's immersive concept very well.”
    • “Graphics 10/10, looks great.”

  • optimization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from poor optimization, leading to performance issues and a subpar experience.

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users find the grinding in the game tedious and repetitive, particularly criticizing the enemy encounters as monotonous and discouraging further exploration of certain levels.

  • replayability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users find the game's replayability limited, feeling that the amount of content does not provide enough incentive to play multiple times.

  • music

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music, featuring a surprising Diablo II reference and engaging narration, pleasantly caught players off guard and was highly praised for its creativity.
