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 the game's short duration doesn't allow much room for thoroughly articulating the introduced themes and concepts, but I still enjoyed how the writing handled it. Additionally I quite liked the interactive elements, although I find it rather difficult to navigate towards some achievements. Not even sure if this story is meant to be taken as a serious critique or an absurdistic parody (I suppose a bit of both??), but either way it left me entertained and eager for more. It was an interesting and impressive experience, despite being frustratingly abrupt at times lol.

[Kawaii/VN?] A chaotic story between the real and the dream. The anime artwork reminds me of DOS-era PC game's golden ages. Multiple endings depending on your choice. Fair price.

[カワイイ] DOS時代を思い出させる絵柄とゲーム進行。現実と夢の狭間の混沌とした物語。マルチED。

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.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3134540/ We are honored to announce that 【UFO】 will be released on September 27th! The game is priced at 0.99 USD, with a 10% discount during the first week. Additionally, players who have already purchased "Cave Fiction" on Steam will receive an extra discount. For more details, please check the bundle: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/33953/ About the bundle: "The Cave Trilogy" is the first trilogy I have planned, although I'm not yet a seasoned developer. However, throughout the process of creating this trilogy, I have slowly learned many techniques. "UFO" is the second part, and unlike "Cave Fiction," it leans more towards expression and stream-of-consciousness. So, those who resonate with it may be very happy, while those who don't might find it dull. After the release of "UFO," I will update "Cave Fiction," primarily to optimize the translation. In the future, aside from "Chest," you might already notice the silhouette of the third part in the bundle's promotional image. I won't say much more here, so stay tuned! Here, I would like to express my gratitude to the friends who have helped me, whether it was in music production or translation. Independent games are already a niche area, and the denpa genre is even more niche within that. Thank you to all the friends who have supported me. Li 24/9
