Cage-Face: Case 1 - The Mine

About

You’re trapped in a crumbling mine tunnel, scrambling to escape while a relentless creature stalks the shadows. As a teenager who got lost spray-painting graffiti, you’ll navigate narrow passages, dodge sudden attacks, and manage a spreading sickness that weakens your vision and stamina. The environment itself is an enemy, collapsing walls, scarce oxygen, and eerie noises keep tension high. Every decision feels urgent, every step could be your last. The game’s brevity works in its favor, packing a tight 30, 60 minute scare session that prioritizes atmosphere over polish. Community reviews note the creature’s design and audio cues as particularly unnerving, though some call the controls clunky. With minimal dialogue and a found-footage vibe from the VHS tape clues, it leans heavily on paranoia. Not the deepest horror experience, but effective for a quick, stressful fix.

Storyline

What seemed to be a standard missing person's case became much more when you discovered that the person you were looking for was caught in their own search for an unnatural being that seems to hunt people down in tunnels. Your investigation soon leads you to a VHS tape of a survivor of this monster giving his accounts of the horrors he faced. This is Cage-Face: Case 1 - The Mine, a short first-person survival horror game where you play as a teen who made the mistake of entering the mine tunnel to spray-paint it - Now his goal is to escape the tunnels as a mysterious entity stalks him.
