“Gameplay in Cave Crave is outwardly simple, but also contains a level of depth I didn't quite expect.”

“And there’s something uniquely immersive about Cave Crave’s enclosed spaces (...) Something that lasts with you well after you take off the headset.”

About This Game

Step into the underground world of caves in the most realistic VR spelunking game, where the entire environment is your map, just waiting to be discovered.

Story Mode

Follow the story of Jake, who is retracing the footsteps of his father, a famous spelunker, and uncover family secrets as he descends deeper into the abyss of the caves. No cheap jump scares - the main game fear factors are headlamp battery life and well… your nerves!

Horror Mode

Chilling experience designed to trigger your deepest phobias. Explore unpredictable cave systems where the darkness itself feels alive, facing a shifting variety of psychological and environmental horrors.

Tourist Mode

A journey through the infamous Nutty Putty cave, guided by an exclusive audio commentary from Brandon Kowallis, a real-life rescuer from the tragic 2009 incident and original cartographer who mapped its treacherous passages before they were closed forever.

Gameplay Features

  • No Built-in Map System: Players must mark trails with chalk, promoting true exploration and self-reliance.

  • Tool Management & Gear Maintenance: Navigate the darkness using ropes and a headlamp. Maintain your gloves to ensure their reliability.

  • Free Climbing Mechanics: Climb any surface using pitons, choosing your own routes—no predefined climbing paths.
