The physics-based horror game 'The Cave Diver' by Ovsko is set to release on Steam on August 13th. The game features high difficulty, with the protagonist using only both arms to navigate claustrophobic rock crevices. Getting stuck results in being crushed. The Steam wishlist has exceeded 20,000. Playtime is estimated at 3 to 5 hours. The price has not been announced.
The Cave Diver's premise centers on a family legend: a flower at the bottom of a cave that cures all illnesses, including paralysis. The protagonist, whose legs are immobile, must descend using only their arms. The game's horror comes from tight spaces and the constant threat of being crushed if movement fails. Ragdoll physics add to the difficulty. The store page hints at an 'evil entity older than humanity' lurking below, promising psychological horror as the player descends deeper.
