𖠊 FROG REVIEW 𖠊 Cave Crawler is a short horror game where you operate a lil robot and go through a myserious cave to look for stuff like dead people :). lets start with the good: -this game has a amazing analog horror feel to it -very creepy athmosphere since you know caves are spooky -the spooks hit really well i must say -it hits the whole you are not alone feel alright onto the bad now: -at its core it is just a walking simulator. Now i like walking sims but i can see some people not enjoying it due to the fact that it is a walking sim. overall I like Cave Crawler a lot actually. It does the whole analog horror feeling really well and i just love the concept of being a lil robot going through a cave. Hope the developer would make more games like this becuase i see potential 𖠊 5/5 𖠊

This game has a way of drawing you in. It doesn't allow the distance of playing as a robot to make you feel safe. I was playing with friends and still felt uneased. I did name the robot Gregory, and he his the bravest robot to exist.

Scary 30min exploring game, yet effective The anticipation of jumpscares is what's making it unsetteling. I wouldn't call "cheap" like i read on other reviews the jumpscares, but "simple", yet effective. The first one has you asking yourself if you really want to continue to explore. Brilliant use of the VHS effect and slow movement of the camera. You start thinking it's gonna be like the movie "The Descent" but find body and cosmic horror instead.
