Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Colossal Cave
I went in expecting nostalgia bait, but Colossal Cave surprised me. This is a straightforward first-person adventure where you wander through a vast underground system, picking up objects and solving environmental puzzles. No combat, no time pressure, no inventory juggling nightmares. The magic is in the world-building: the cave feels alive, with little environmental details that reward curiosity. Puzzles are clever enough to make you think without becoming frustrating, and the VR support actually enhances the sense of scale. It's not a long game, and it won't appeal to anyone chasing action or story bombast. But if you want something contemplative that respects your time and intelligence, this hits the mark. The 91% positive rating isn't inflated hype; it's a tight, well-made adventure that does exactly what it sets out to do.
