A downloadable game

Primal Cavern is a stone-age, primeval homage to Dark Fort. You play as an ancient warrior, GUNT, descending into an ever-changing cavern while encountering all manner of Beasties and Hazards that lurk within. It is said that whomever can conquer this dangerous cavern shall have their name carved into stone for all eternity. Go forth, GUNT, and make your mark on history!

All you need to play is a few dice (d4, d6, d8), a pencil, and some paper.

Primal Cavern features:

  • d8 based combat with critical hits and misses
  • Expanded encounter tables for variety with every run
  • Stone-age themed weaponry and equipment like Club (and Big Club)
  • Archaic, fearsome Beasties based on primeval creatures
  • A simple layout inspired by Dark Fort
  • GUNT! (the mightiest of warriors)
