Who is the player?

  • A man rock climbing

What is the setting?

  • The man finds a cave entrance, the rocks are slippery and he tumbles down a slope leading into the cave, at the bottom he lands and is knocked unconscious. When he wakes he finds his equipment has been taken and the slope he fell down is too steep and slippery to climb.

What is the threat danger?

  • Within the darkness he can hear that he is not alone, occasionally he finds signs of some sort of civilization that have installed complex doors blocking off the deepest parts of the cave. He finds signs that his equipment has been taken further in to the depths, occasionally finding small items that have been discarded by someone…or something.

What is the Goal?

  • He must explore the cave and recover his gear in order to escape, but danger lurks deep in the caves, something awful dwells within.
