- 【UFO】 will be released on September 27th! - 19 September 2024
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3134540/ We are honored to announce that 【UFO】 will be released on September 27th! The game is priced at 0.99 USD, with a 10% discount during the first week. Additionally, players who have already purchased "Cave Fiction" on Steam will receive an extra discount. For more details, please check the bundle: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/33953/ About the bundle: "The Cave Trilogy" is the first trilogy I have planned, although I'm not yet a seasoned developer. However, throughout the process of creating this trilogy, I have slowly learned many techniques. "UFO" is the second part, and unlike "Cave Fiction," it leans more towards expression and stream-of-consciousness. So, those who resonate with it may be very happy, while those who don't might find it dull. After the release of "UFO," I will update "Cave Fiction," primarily to optimize the translat…

- Always there - 27 October 2023
Ciao Hello, It's been a while since I posted an update. The reason I haven't been able to provide updates isn't because I've given up on this game or that all my previous promises have disappeared. The situation is as follows: Due to being busy with a full-time job recently and going on vacation for a few days at the end of last month, I've been quite exhausted. Perhaps it's because I hadn't gone far from home in the last few years due to the COVID-19 situation, and traveling was quite tiring after three years. Currently, the progress of the English version is basically replaced, but the quality of the translation still needs to be verified in future steps. The progress of the Japanese version is about halfway. Actually, the progress is a bit slower than I had imagined. Originally, I had planned to send this "update" post after the completion of the Japanese and English versions and wou…
- "Cave Fiction" is participating in the Steam Visual Novel Fest - 8 August 2023
Hello everyone, I am very honored to announce that "Cave Fiction" is participating in the Steam Visual Novel Festival. I would love to offer a discount, but unfortunately, due to Steam's mechanisms, I am unable to do so at the moment. Some updates: The English and Japanese manually proofread versions are currently in progress and are expected to be completed by October. The OST is in the Steam review queue and will be available soon. Regarding the future: "Cave Fiction" is my first game, as well as GOOODMON's first game. It is also the first part of my "Fiction Trilogy." Some players who haven't experienced all the possible endings might have different interpretations of certain aspects of the story. I believe games are meant to be games. "Cave Fiction" is a philosophical game that explores the theme of "love," while the second part of this series will be a literary game focusing on "so…

- Run, Plesse! - [Cave Fiction] releases on July 17th! - 7 July 2023
⚛️ I am delighted to introduce my first product_. 📂 So, what kind of game is it? is an adventure text-based game inspired by Plato's classic allegory of the cave. The story spans across four chapters, where you, the protagonist, continuously fall into one dream after another, relentlessly trying to awaken and escape the dreams, returning to reality (?). ⚛️ The game adopts an ADV (Adventure) format, with text as the primary element accompanied by interactive gameplay. It offers over three different endings and multiple replay experiences. The game does not support fullscreen mode, as we strive to respect the balance between the virtual and reality. 🙂 will be released on Steam on July 17th, featuring support for the Steam achievement system. The game supports 3.5 languages, including English, Japanese, and Simplified/Traditional Chinese. Japanese and English translations are AI-generate…
- Maybe I can meet everyone soon~ - 1 April 2023
In fact, the game development progress has been slow since last year due to many real-world problems, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and holidays, etc. However, with the arrival of spring, "CaveFiction" is also being localized in multiple languages, including a Japanese and English version. Although the translations may not be perfect, I hope everyone likes it, as I have tried my best. I also appreciate the rapid development of AI, which helped me solve many problems, such as translation and coding.
- Plane! Don't run away this time, okay~ - 1 October 2022
Hello everyone, This is the production committee of 'CaveFiction', although we call ourselves a committee, there are currently only two of us. So, what is 'CaveFiction'? The name 'CaveFiction' comes from Plato's allegory of the cave. In the story, humans live in a large cave and the light of truth shines into the cave, projecting the shadow of the world on the cave wall. However, humans cannot directly look at the light source because it would blind them, so they get used to seeing only the shadows of the world and gradually forget that it is just a shadow. 'CaveFiction' borrows the essence of Plato's allegory and creates a modern version of the metaphorical love adventure text game, which focuses on the personal expression of the author (me): we are lost in the contemporary cave created by the internet and information media. As mentioned before, when I first started, I referenced games…
