Cave Escape

Cave Escape is a text-based adventure game written in Java in early 2021 and “ported” to Unity in 2024. It was originally designed to be played in the Java console, and it was my first video game created. The player character wakes up in a cave with hazy memory and finds many bizarre and out-of-place environments as they look around. By collecting items and applying them to the situations you come across, you can make your escape. You can also collect all six gemstones for a special ending.

While the game itself is now older and primitive compared to my work in Unity, it’s noteworthy because I had to replicate the appearance and functionality of a Java console in the Unity editor to make this “port” work. I also had to replace calls to Java’s print function with my own custom functions to push text to the game’s screen.
