The Cave

Ron Gilbert is old. Period. Both Return To Monkey Island and The Cave suffer from the complete absence of storyline, which is of paramount importance to adventure games. So, nice graphics and sound, a pinch of humour BUT NO real story, which means no character development, suprise, agony or anticipation -emotions that really talk to the heart of adventure gamers. Oh, and no conclusion, either! Shame.

Played this on my phone (before they abruptly removed it from App Store, stealing my money) and played it in PC. It has great graphics and sound, but play control is abysmal and the logic of the puzzles is written poorly. Also, considering their clearly poor support on the App Store, I would not expect this game to improve - stay away.

It's commonly approved knowledge that modern gaming must incorporate at least three out of five following rules: #1 a game shall be depressive or childish or both #2 a game shall be a screen saver or pixel-burning grade exclusively #3 a story shall not interfere with game graphics, as the latter always are considered to be an art #4 puzzles shall be aimed at minorities only: those extremely sharp or extremely patient or extremely dumb #5 a game shall put any agenda over entertainment. Unfortunately The Cave violates all of above rules, which sadly makes it <> the most hilarious thing since dinosaurs turned into chickens <> I really didn't want to love this game. I love only cats and pineapple pizza. Yet it happened! Felines and Hawaiian are joined by spelunking now. The Cave takes more then 22HRS so even for the full price it's a good purchase.

The Game runs on Buddah Engine and there is a Linux Version available on Steam while the Game is initially from 2013, i.e. 10 years old now. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Engine:Buddha So how do we educate developers and publishers to stop treating GOG users as 2nd class customers except for not buying their products?
