you do not know why but you long to mine
You stand at the entrance of Hermit's Cave, a mysterious and ever-changing dungeon that has intrigued adventurers for years. Legend speaks of a hidden treasure buried deep within its shifting tunnels, but none have returned with proof of success. This roguelike mining story was crafted in just seven days for 7DRL, with extra content added for NanoRenO. The game features procedural level generation, with rock, pitfall, and slime placements shaping each run. While the current build ends at level 49, the developer notes that the pacing feels rushed and plans to expand the story, add missing features, and improve progression. The first playthrough emphasizes classic jugabilidad, but unlocking a shop later allows for a more relaxed experience focused on the visual novel elements. Though incomplete, Hermit's Cave is a work in progress, with future updates promising Japanese translation, expanded NPC storylines, and more content. It’s a raw, evolving experience for fans of procedural dungeons and narrative-driven exploration. This project continues to grow with community.
