Game Overview & History

It’s been a long, long trip, but you’ve finally arrived at the top of Mt. Combine, the largest inactive volcano in the world. As you begin your descent, however, something feels a bit off. As you keep on going down, you realize that this volcano is the farthest thing from dormant—and hiding a massive secret. Run for your life, and don’t screw up: the gods are unforgiving…

“Just a Cave” is a Half-Life 2 mod which emphasizes movement and mobility. It removes combat and instead explores what makes Half-Life truly exciting: platforming. By using near-frictionless surfaces inspired by “surf” maps from Counter-Strike, combined with an unlockable “boost” mechanic, “Just a Cave” provides a thrilling and challenging platforming experience.
