Introducing “Cave Crave” - The most realistic VR spelunking for Meta Quest and PSVR2!

The dark corridor turns out to be a dead end. The water level is slowly rising. Your gloves are so muddy that your tools keep slipping. You have two choices: retreat quickly and find a dry tunnel or climb the dark wall hoping for escape route at the top…

3R Games, the studio behind the bestselling "Thief Simulator VR: Greenview Street" (psst! now discounted!) and upcoming “Monkies In The Brickland” is proud to reveal its newest, set to release in Spring 2025 on Meta Quest and PSVR2.

I'm a huge fan of spelunking and exploring hard-to-reach places. .. - says Piotr Surmacz, game director and 3R Games CEO -. .. but only as a spectator because, in reality, I’d be too afraid to enter most of them! After watching some captivating spelunking footage, I thought: how about creating opportunity to explore safely VR? And we’re doing it!

Cave Crave’ offers immersive VR cave exploration - complete with crawling, climbing, squeezing through tight corridors, breath control and using tools to clear the way or create a new path in a realistic, wildly irregular cave environments.

Gameplay Highlights

  • Immersive, realistic environments: Explore irregular, unpredictable spaces with hundreds of strange kinks and unusual terrain situations. Forget “cave03.png” textures in usual, square tunnels - we’re doing the real thing.

  • No map: Need some navigation hints? Make them yourself. Using chalk, you can leave your own navigational clues on cave walls.

  • Destructible obstacles: Encounter roadblocks? Break smaller stalactites with a hammer and clear larger boulders by scraping cracks in them and blasting through them with proper tools.

  • Full environment interaction: The whole world in front of you is touchable and you can try to climb it - with your hands alone or with tools.

  • Breath management: Use a breath control mechanic to manage your chest size and slip through super tight places - or avoid drowning!

  • Different biomes, different challenges: Mud lakes, sulphurous volcanic fumes, and deadly frost are just some of the obstacles you’ll face as you journey deeper underground.

  • Simplified simulation: Maintain your gear to ensure its reliability. Without it, you could find yourself in a no-win situation.

  • Customize your experience: The default setting provides a mysterious and immersive cave atmosphere without cheap horror tricks. However, you can turn on scarier features (like cave spiders) to adjust your experience.

Do you love watching footage of secret space exploration? Curious about spelunking? Want to laugh at your claustrophobia? Or maybe just want to fashion your own path up a dark wall using hooks? In any case, ‘Cave Crave’ is the game for you.
