(}-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-{) STORY: You wake up, having no memory of what just happened. You are in a dark and mysterious cave, with your only possession: a flashlight. It is eerily silent, and the slightest sound echoes for what seems like eternity. Suddenly, you hear the sound of stone scraping against stone, and you turn, only to find a wall of jagged spikes heading in your direction. You turn back around, but what lay ahead is astonishing. A maze of shifting rock, stretching far into the complex of tunnels ahead. It seems like just too much, and you know it will be nearly impossible to get through. But you also know it is your only hope of escaping. Of escaping the dark, lonely caves, where you would be trapped forever if the spikes don’t reach you first. Of seeing daylight, its memory already fading into the darkness of the cavern. (}-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-{) The earth itself seems to be against you. Everything has a mind of its own. Moving platforms, disappearing platforms, jagged spikes, and more. Escape the seemingly endless Cavern of the Shifting Shadows!
