Cave Story

2004 · Daisuke Amaya

Cave Story is a 2004 Metroidvania game developed by Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya. It was released on December 20, 2004 for Microsoft Windows. The game revolves around Quote, a robot who wakes up suffering from amnesia and explores in diverse cavernous areas in order to uncover his backstory and escape from the cave. The character gains access to new areas as he powers up his weapons by collecting triangular experience crystals and solves various platforming puzzles. Quote speaks to non-player characters scattered around the game world in order to learn more about the world and its inhabitants. Cave Story features 2D platform mechanics and is reminiscent of the games Amaya played in his youth, such as Metroid and Castlevania. Synopsis from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA.
