About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to descend into the darkest depths of the earth in Cave Evil, a game where death is just the beginning of something much worse. Forget sunlight; here, the setting is a labyrinth of damp tunnels and forgotten necropolises. You will take on the role of an ancient Necromancer, a master of forbidden arts seeking to consolidate power in a world of shadows. The goal is clear but brutal: you must expand your domain, excavate tunnels, and gather resources and body parts to build an army of terrifying minions. But don't think it will be easy. While you attempt to find the legendary Dark Pit to absorb the ultimate evil, other necromancers will be trying to destroy your lair and steal your Chthonic Crystal. Survival is a high-stakes game where resource management and strategic area movement are vital. But beware! The chaos you create by summoning creatures might end up awakening something much older and more evil than any of you. Cave Evil is a game of combat and exploration where only one master of darkness must remain standing, facing not just your rivals, but the very darkness breathing within the cavern walls.
