About this game

Assemble a team of unlikely adventurers – each with their own unique personalities and stories– and descend into the heart of a sprawling, sentient cave in order to find that which is most important to each of them. The Cave has had millennia to spruce up the place so prepare to dive deep and solve the puzzles hidden within exotic locations including a subterranean amusement park, medieval castle, and fully armed nuclear research facility. The Cave is waiting.

Seven Adventurers, Multiple Paths:

Prolific Pedigree:

Better Together:
Seamlessly switch between characters and work together to solve the puzzles held within The Cave’s depths. Every solution leads you closer to discovering the truth behind each character.

Dual-core CPU with 1GB of ram and ~1.5GB free space. For best performance devices manufactured in 2012 or newer are suggested.

TL/DR: Great game, terrible controls. First off, this is the kind of game there needs to be more of. It's fun, engaging, humorous and challenging. You can play it multiple times with the different characters. This is game is heads and shoulders above 95% of the dreck out there in this regard. So why only 3 stars? The controls are ABYSMAL! The jump mechanic alone is enough to make you scream. Watching my character impaled for the umpteenth time in a pit of spikes really sucks the fun out. Apparently you can connect a controller... but then why have it mobile. Just play on the XBox... If you have the patience to deal with the control scheme, get it. Otherwise still get it... just on a different platform.

Excellent game! Challenging puzzles with great stories and characters. Exactly the sort of dark humor I wanted from a Double Fine game. However, touch screen controls are frustrating at times; it can cause your characters to be uncooperative. Not too disruptive to the game play. You don't have to restart the level every time your character just walks off a ledge instead of jumping. It's just pretty annoying. The Knight character seems to have a tendency to get stuck in ledges.

A great game! Fabulous humor, and the individual character levels were really fun. My only complaint is the touchscreen controls aren't the best, particularly with jumping and dropping items. I died a lot due to falling because the characters wouldn't jump and due to exploding because the characters didn't want to drop dynamite. But overall, I highly recommend the game.
