Descend into the mysterious depths of The Cave in this adventure game from Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert and Double Fine Productions.

Assemble a team of unlikely adventurers – each with their own unique personalities and stories– and descend into the heart of a sprawling, sentient cave in order to find that which is most important to each of them. The Cave has had millennia to spruce up the place so prepare to dive deep and solve the puzzles hidden within exotic locations including a subterranean amusement park, medieval castle, and fully armed nuclear research facility. The Cave is waiting.

Seven Adventurers, Multiple Paths:
Choose a team of three out of seven explorers and descend into the depths of The Cave. From the Hillbilly to the Time Traveler, all 7 characters have their own unique personalities, special talents, and mysterious motivations for descending into The Cave.

Prolific Pedigree:
Experience the detailed, stunning art style and humor that only Double Fine and Ron Gilbert can dream up.

Better Together:
Seamlessly switch between characters and work together to solve the puzzles held within The Cave’s depths. Every solution leads you closer to discovering the truth behind each character.

  • Nice find. 1.5 GB download :o

    • Is there any way to cancel the download on the amazon appstore once it's started?

      • Not that I could see. I guess killing the Amazon app from the task manager?

        After downloading it took it's sweet time installing. Running it fine on my Xperia Z1 though.

  • Nice! I'm a whore for Monkey Island and assume this will be awesome also.

        that's an awful lot of problems with this app…

        87 gave it only 1 star…

          No displaying anything I really love the game but it doesn't displays anything, no image, just sound, and seems to be running good, just for the fact that I cant see nothing, pls fix!!

          Yep, a quality One Star review right there.

          "Cant see nothing" would have to be my favourite part

        • a quality One Star review right there.

          There are 86 more 1 star reviews…

          I doubt they are all made up…

          Such as:

          AWFUL can here the narrater and sound effects but cannot see no characters or objects. Im on a samsung tab 2 please fix or give me a full refund

          Another quality review.

          and

          Won't download It says downloading but the percent never starts and I don't get the download indicator in the status bar. Nexus 10.

          Yep, I'm sure that is the game/dev's fault.

          But in fairness, there are still 84 more reviews, which I won't be reading or commenting on!

        • But in fairness, there are still 84 more reviews

          Usually when there are so many -ve results in the review, there is a very good reason…

          You finally realised this, good on you jv.

        • On my he flip sid. For thos. That donthave hardware issues it could be mor. Of a 5 star game?

      Did you read the review?

      It doesn't relate to the game at all really, it just says his phone crashed and he could no longer run it using a LG G2.

      Hardly a general consensus.

        Did you read the review?

        Yes, they gave it 1 star…

        • Ok so you read the review but didn't understand it.

        • +1

          but didn't understand it.

          I understand there are lots of technical issues still with this app…

  • Great game, got it on Xbox. Couple of good laughs.

  • On PC via amazom.com.au link listed I got "You are not eligible to purchase this app due to geographical restrictions". Closed IE, ran ultrasurf and accessed US site thru US proxy, purchased for free without problem.

    • Likewise. Not letting Australians get it on Amazon.com.AU is bloody retarded especially when it works fine on Amazon.com.

      • I just logged in to .au, it let me "buy it now with 1-click". no problems.

      • In this day and age, why are companies still doing this. Thank god for proxy browsers/extenstions.

      • Make sure your 1-Click default address is in Australia. I had to change mine from an US address back to an Australian address. (It should say "This is your current 1-Click default address." below your Australian address.)

        https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/css/account/address/view.html?i…

        • I've checked and it is my Australian address.
          The app works fine so I'll just go with that.

    • I just switched back to my .au address. I recently switched to to a US address to claim the free $5 promotion Amazon had for apps. Not sure if my credit will still be usable after switching back and forth.

  • Fantastic game

  • Have an Australian and US amazon account and its all good. :)

  • +1

    The download can not be stopped, I killed the amazon store, switched to airplane mode and switched back, and even restarted my N5. It just insists to finish the downloading, I only wanted to add it to my freebie collections because of the $5.6 saving ~~~

    • +1

      The ay around this is to not go to the app store, go to a Web browser on any non android device, log in, buy with 1 click, then it won't download until you trigger it but will be waiting in my apps on the app store for when u do

  • Scared of logging in to my US amazon account at the .AU domain for fear they convert the bastard account to a crappy Aussie one.

    (Even though Amazon NEVER SEND ME ANY PHYSICAL GOODS) "sorry we won't ship that to your country" for like every goddamn thing I order :/

    • Click the Go to Deal link, then just remove the .au from the URL. Worked for me.

  • Why can't I find this on the Amazon Appstore on my phone? I literally cannot find 'the cave' when I search.

    I had the same issue with sonic the hedgehog 2 too, and thus missed out on that :(.

    But I tried the 1-click thing and it seems to have worked, but didn't automatically install on my android, I had to go into "my apps" and then cloud, and hit install.

    Why can't I see it on the appstore though?

    edit: okay I was able to find "the cave". Jeez amazon has such a shitty search function. I guess that's why I was unable to find sonic 2 on the phone (AND STILL CAN'T!)

    • If Amazon detects that you are from a geographic region that they do not sell a product to, it will not show up in the searches. You can see it using a direct link though but they will not allow you to get it.

    I believe the Amazon app store has a setting to only allow apps larger than a set size to downlad on wifi. Could be useful for people having trouble with it downloading on purchase.

  • Are their servers getting smashed or is my internet slow tonight?

  • Following JV there will be a second bad review soon. What a waste of time and bandwidth. After (very slowly) downloading 1.5GB it failed to install - tried 3 time and each time it cause a reboot of an otherwise perfectly healthy Nexus 7 (2012).

    Edit: sorry OP, this rant was nor directed at you. I am glad for freebies like this. But the developers have failed us on this game…

      After (very slowly) downloading 1.5GB

      I know it's frustrating not to have things work, but the slow download isn't the fault of the developer — the download is hosted by Amazon.

      This installed fine for me on my Nexus 7 (2013).

    • Installed and ran on my Nexus 5 ART mode

      Hey no probs..

      you win some, you lose some.. ozbargainers code!

    • Just wanted to share that it downloaded, installed, and started up, just fine on a Nexus 7 2013.

      • And it didn't take hours?

        EDIT: Electronictomato (or something) seems to have answered for me above, cheers

    • Downloaded in under an hour. Installed within a minute. Runs without any problems on my Nexus 7 (2012).
      Do you have the latest version of the Amazon Appstore?

      • Yes, I installed the Amazon Appstore only last week for the first time. The Nexus has the latest Android version too.

        I guess it can be caused by any number of things. My account is the second user on the device, maybe the app can't handle that?

        It stays on 'installing' longer than the 5 minute screen timeout. Some time after that it causes the device to reboot. When I go back to the app store it then wants to install - just like after the initial download.

  • Is there any way to download this onto a PC to be transferred to an android device later?
