-The theme of the game
You have come to that parallel universe that tries to trap you with feelings of nostalgia and fear and peace. Be careful; you don't want to be part of it.
🌀 Explore the Unknown
You found yourself in an abnormal place, an abandoned store, abandoned places. Empty corridors, a maze, flickering lights,
🚪 Every Door Leads Somewhere… But Where?
Each level is uniquely designed to evoke a sense of nostalgia, unease, and isolation. Some areas feel strangely comforting, while others are deeply unsettling.
👀 You Are Not Alone
As you explore places, you will feel lonely. All the empty aisles, empty supermarkets, empty spaces, empty streets, empty parking lots, but are you really alone?
🔑 Solve, Survive, Escape
- Find and use objects to unlock new levels.
- Interact with the environment—open drawers, cabinets, and doors to uncover hidden clues.
- Follow (or ignore) the signs—sometimes, the only way out is through.
- Experience immersive horror with VHS-style visuals, dynamic lighting, and spine-chilling sound design.
⚠️ Can You Find the Escape Route?
Can you survive all the levels and return to the real world? dangerous levels full of nostalgia that will keep you inside, I wish you success.
FAQ
1.How many levels does the game consist of?
+It is challenging to provide a definitive response to this question. Currently, the game comprises 24-25 distinct levels.
2. Will there be a demo of the game? Will it be free?
+In light of the current state of development, it is my assessment that a demo is not a necessary component of the game. The game will be released in its entirety and will subsequently undergo continuous updates. I am aware that other games of this nature are often perceived as tedious, and thus I have devised an alternative approach.
3. How many hours will it take to finish the game?
+It depends on how fast you find the doors.
4. There are better quality backrooms/liminal space games around than your game, so why should I buy your game?
+Unlike other backrooms/liminal space games I have developed, this game contains levels designed with original ideas and is not just a walking simulator. And only 5 Dollars.

is this playable on macOS?
No
maybe it's a bug or something, but on high I get like +100fps but on Epic I can't go above 3
I'm playing on Linux w Proton
I know it's ridiculous. Because I have this problem too. Even though the game is optimized, I get 30-40fps on the “epic” setting.
aside from that the game seems pretty polished, saw your post on reddit and wanted to give it try, excluding that bug the gameplay in general is pretty good, nice work, hope you keep updating it!
Unfortunately, this game will not receive a new update. But in the future, I'm thinking of making a sequel :)
Hi Old Cave Studio!
I happen to come across this game and absolutely loved the unique art style and gameplay mechanics! While unfortunately I don't stream, it's clear a lot of passion went into this project.
I run a Discord server dedicated to game developers where we discuss projects, share feedback, and explore opportunities for equity-based investment. I think you might find it valuable, especially if you're looking to connect with like-minded developers and potential investors.
And I would personally like you to be our first client.
If you’re interested, feel free to check it out! Here’s the link: https://discord.gg/7QwcRfADD9
Keep up the fantastic work!
cheers,

its cool and works very good on the steam deck but i think the start animation where the character falls down needs a bit of an rework because it looks too straight
Thanks for playing my game and providing feedback!

Thank you very much :) it made me happy to read this! When the big update comes, I'll look forward to your video :)
Thanks for reaching out and allowing me to check your game out. I completed your game and it was amazing I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the levels and purposely getting lost. The game was gorgeous and photorealistic it made me feel as if I was the one walking around. The levels didn't feel dull or lacking I liked the spice you added to the liminal space genre also thanks for the nostalgia flashback in level 4 🥲. As for performance, I had no issues it ran smoothly. Keep up the good work and I look forward to future updates as well as future games you make. 🙂
I will post the video link when it goes live

I liked this game, there was no boring puzzles or complex mazes. Some of the levels were decent some of them were quite short but overall I enjoyed the game.
Thanks you!
