I've played almost all of double fine's games. With exception of Psychonauts and it's sequels, this is my favorite of theirs. The allegory of the cave and what it represents in persons choices is one that really affected me when i was 7. On top of that the cave itself is probably the funniest character i've ever seen in any game. Do yourself a favor and play this game.

The Cave is one of my all-time favorite games ever. I've been playing this game for years & remember my dad getting it for me & I'd play it for hours- maybe even days straight- on my tablet.
We'd go to a cabin in the summer & my chronic migraine/undiagnosed autistic brain just needed funny spooky puzzle game to scratch that itch- & it still continues to do so, for whatever reason.
The humor has stuck with me all this time, & I've actually memorized a large majority of the game's script.
I drew fanart for it once & hope to again, & I still gush about it to my friends.
idk how Double Fine, Ron, or the rest of the gang feel abt it now, but please know this game has meant the world to me over the years.
I think I technically got into this before Undertale, so it may be one of those games that really properly got me into gaming all-together. I started learning how to speedrun & use shortcuts, finding walkthroughs when I needed them (which helped me understand that it's okay to ask for help; smth I struggled with a lot.), & technically achievement hunting, too.
I was interested in Psychonauts because I saw the devs had made one of my favorite games ever, & it's now possibly a special interest for my now-husband & I.
I know I'm just rambling at this point, which is fine.
I think younger me would have freaked out/pos having seen I finally got to leave a review for this game as an adult, 100% it, & got to share this special interest with his husband.
I love the art style, I've memorized a lot of the music, too- & the stories & lessons have stuck with me to this day.
I still get spooked sometimes, & the Twins & Hillbilly segments continue to get me overly emotional today.
If you're not the devs & made it this far: play Double Fine games.
