Caverns - Games

Caverns in games often serve as transitional spaces between surface and underworld, rich with environmental storytelling. They challenge players with navigation puzzles, limited resources, and claustrophobic tension, while housing hidden lore, valuable loot, or formidable foes. From survival horror to RPGs, caverns symbolize the unknown—a place where light fades, sound echoes ominously, and every shadow could conceal danger or discovery. Their procedural generation in roguelikes or hand-crafted layouts in narrative adventures make them versatile tools for pacing and atmosphere.
