About the game

"Cave Fiction" is a self-developed "game" that is actually a monstrous creation born from the author's sad, arrogant, and foolish consciousness. Its name is derived from a classic metaphor in Plato's philosophy, making it a manic modern story within a classical narrative framework.

    I am speechless. I hate this, I hate the world, I hate dreaming, I hate myself, everyone should just rot in a cave and disappear, I truly hated this so much. Solid game! Can't say I managed to follow the plot very well but I certainly felt the message (I think). The graphics and general presentation are very memorable and expressive, establishing a highly surreal and distressingly dreamlike ambience. Unfortunately…

    Just got through one of the 3 endings in just over an hour. It's a visual novel with a very appealing visual aspect full of dithering. Based on Plato's allegory of the cavern, the story is a very cool critique of modern society. Note that it has no fullscreen or options, intentionally, as the point is to remind you that you are behind a screen, although this can be corrected with Borderless Gaming.
