The Dark Cave

Short description

Every move you make counts in this gritty turn-based game! Fight against foes in opposite 3x3 grid boards. Plan ahead of your enemies’ attacks and carefully choose your moves: running out of moves will cost you health, but enemies will always keep coming. How deep can you get into The Dark Cave?

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $4.99 launch price — there is not enough price history for this game to weight the copies by what they actually sold for. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
