what is Cavern Crawler?

Endlessly explore caverns and improve your character in this short, minimalist idle RPG prototype.

Cavern Crawler is a prototype incremental game focused on continuous cavern exploration and character progression. Though brief and unpolished, it offers around 30-45 minutes of gameplay with no definitive end.

It sits in the Idle / Prestige / Management / RPG / Minimalist corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
