What is Cavehaven?

Cavehaven, home to the Goblins of Kokono Village, is comprised of a network of caves stacked on top of and beneath the wide open cavern the Goblins have cleared out and built their home in. Seeking shelter from what they call the Brightblight, the Goblins of Kokono are content to hide from predators, and more importantly from the humans of the surface, in the damp shade of sheltering stone, deep below the mountains.

Cavehaven is both a tiny, goblincore fantasy setting with a diverse cast of colorful characters, and also a dungeon-crawling adventure that takes players through a complex cave system with its own ecosystem and dangers. Follow a simple adventure and uncover an alarming schism in reality itself that hints at the tragic history of a much greater world in peril!

You could plant Cavehaven into just about any mountain range in any game and fantasy world you like, but it also serves as the introduction to a broader setting I've been working on for a while that I will expand upon in future projects.

This reads as very promising. Great job! Can we expect a final version anytime soon?

I'm sorry. I wish. My life has pretty much totally fallen apart and I've been struggling more severely than ever with mental health issues since my last update to this.

Any "final" edition of Cavehaven would require money to fully realize, and I just don't have any to spare.

I'm happy you enjoy it even in its current state, though!
