Cave

Frame · Extreme spaces spatial

Darkness, narrowness, the unknown beneath the earth – a space where light is the most important resource.

Design question – Your play space lies underground. What does the darkness hide – treasures, dangers, or something better left hidden?

Reference example – Deep Rock Galactic: dark caves, flares and the echo of pickaxes. Caverna: a cave as a home, extended chamber by chamber.
