"Cave Fiction" is a self-developed "game" that is actually a monstrous creation born from the author's sad, arrogant, and foolish consciousness. Its name is derived from a classic metaphor in Plato's philosophy, making it a manic modern story within a classical narrative framework.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

However, throughout the process of creating this trilogy, I have slowly learned many techniques.
A：As the title suggests, I am honored to announce that the Japanese BETA version and English testing version of "Cave Fiction" have been released. In this testing version, a resolution option has been added. (However, you need to clear your progress and restart the game.) I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. iugennnnn and the couple, keshan sixin, for their support in creating the Japanese and English versions. (Bows) B：At the same time, I am very pleased to announce the release of my new game, "Chest."{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42340983/a03ee02762b4f312bfb73b56f576df3facd800ff.png

Next is about multiple languages, with the Japanese version progressing as planned. After that, there's news about a new work, "PICCIONI BROS". {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42340983/b9769748250ab45b0906a859668810d70845dba5.png Once again, I can share some sketches of the game, and these are still in progress. Thanks again for your attention. Salute!
Ciao Hello, It's been a while since I posted an update. The reason I haven't been able to provide updates isn't because I've given up on this game or that all my previous promises have disappeared. The situation is as follows: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42340983/e8656aaa43e5d85a7de4da370f2c5943691eb59a.jpg Due to being busy with a full-time job recently and going on vacation for a few days at the end of last month, I've been quite exhausted. Perhaps it's because I hadn't gone far from home in the last few years due to the COVID-19 situation, and traveling was quite tiring after three years. Currently,
Hello everyone, I am very honored to announce that "Cave Fiction" is participating in the Steam Visual Novel Festival. I would love to offer a discount, but unfortunately, due to Steam's mechanisms, I am unable to do so at the moment. Some updates: The English and Japanese manually proofread versions are currently in progress and are expected to be completed by October. The OST is in the Steam review queue and will be available soon. Regarding the future: "Cave Fiction" is my first game, as well as GOOODMON's first game. It is also the first part of my "Fiction Trilogy." Some players who haven
Here's the situation. Some friends who are still using low-resolution devices complained that they couldn't fully experience the game. So, I've added resolution settings. Currently, there are two supported resolutions: 1600x900 800x450 Additionally, bugs have been fixed, and a guide has been added. If any friends need a larger resolution, please input "123123123kirA" in the test version and select the Steamsh branch. Thank you.

⚛️ I am delighted to introduce my first product_. 📂 So, what kind of game is it? is an adventure text-based game inspired by Plato's classic allegory of the cave. The story spans across four chapters, where you, the protagonist, continuously fall into one dream after another, relentlessly trying to awaken and escape the dreams, returning to reality (?). ⚛️ The game adopts an ADV (Adventure) format, with text as the primary element accompanied by interactive gameplay. It offers over three different endings and multiple replay experiences. The game does not support fullscreen mode, as we strive
In fact, the game development progress has been slow since last year due to many real-world problems, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and holidays, etc. However, with the arrival of spring, "CaveFiction" is also being localized in multiple languages, including a Japanese and English version. Although the translations may not be perfect, I hope everyone likes it, as I have tried my best. I also appreciate the rapid development of AI, which helped me solve many problems, such as translation and coding. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42340983/5bdb5d7b7c1de26db49b362ba52d5b7b0e288cf6.jpg
Hello everyone, This is the production committee of 'CaveFiction', although we call ourselves a committee, there are currently only two of us. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42340983/7f209743551839266fd82e89e11159eb0c7ac46d.png So, what is 'CaveFiction'? The name 'CaveFiction' comes from Plato's allegory of the cave. In the story, humans live in a large cave and the light of truth shines into the cave, projecting the shadow of the world on the cave wall. However, humans cannot directly look at the light source because it would blind them, so they get used to seeing only the shadows of the world and gradua
