  • I’ve never played Cave Story.
    Yeah it's good :D You can get the 2004 freeware version at cavestory.org, and cave story+ is on steam and switch (although the switch version has more features such as native widescreen and 2 extra soundtracks). Source: 9 months ago
  • Steam Summer sale has just started? Any recommended MVs
    IMO, the soundtrack and translation are both better in the cavestory.org version. To me, the soundtrack point is very important. Source: 9 months ago
  • What are some really good free games
    Cavestory is free if you get it from the website cavestory.org. Source: 12 months ago
  • Is Cave Story + worth it in 2022?
    If you're only looking for the story and main game itself, go for freeware on cavestory.org. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Soo what now?
    I got the good ending, what do I do after the ending screen? Is there a way to exit it? If I exit and start a new game (didn't got best ending because... I always fell down on the waterway house door :( ), will it count I got it? I'm playing the aeon genesis spanish translation from cavestory.org (the vagrante traducciones one), so yeah.
