I recently bought cave story, and I wonder, is it a dark game? people talks about death, and kidnappings. So without spoiling to much, is the game dark? is characters going to die? or get tortured?
So in other words, yes but off screen, correct?Random-storykeeper said:You won't hear their anguish or see blood, but if you're prone to feels, it might be sad.
Okay, I'm very sensitive when it comes to deaths, even if it's off screen, or just mentioned, I still don't like it at all. I don't want any character I like to die, that include villains.ZarroTsu said:Cave Story's "dark"ness is much more 'Fridge Horror' than anything. At face value everything is fairly tame until about the half-way point when shit hits the fan, after which it isn't really examined again until the very end of the game, and/or the bonus level.
There is no blood or gore, and 'death' is more of a POOF! than anything, whether in defeating a monster, or getting off'd yourself.

Yes, for 1 USDAar said:You ask this after buying the game
I'm not trying to give anything away much, but in some of the text in the final level of the game that, its mentioned briefly that people get tortured.Yemto said:....or get tortured?
In that case, you're probably not going to enjoy playing this, twenty minutes in. Especially if it's just the concept of death and not the cause that you are sensitive to.Yemto said:Okay, I'm very sensitive when it comes to deaths, even if it's off screen, or just mentioned, I still don't like it at all.

Perhaps a game like Hello Kitty: Happy Party Pals would be more suited to your tastes then.Yemto said:Okay, I'm very sensitive when it comes to deaths, even if it's off screen, or just mentioned, I still don't like it at all. I don't want any character I like to die, that include villains.
Trolling doesn't help the poor kid, Adolf.Adolf K. said:Cave Story is basicly the darkest game I've ever played. Believe me man, I've been through a lot shit in life but this game is a beast. The last time I played it, I was so feeling so drained afterwards, I basicly just wanted to die, I thought I need to see a therapist or something, just to continue my every day life. Thankfully I'm a very hardy person, so everything went back to normal after some weeks.
Occasionally I still wake up in the night, bathed in my own sweat, screaming...
