A missing-persons case gone wrong

In the story of Cage-Face: Case 1 – The Mine, the player starts by investigating a missing person. Their investigation leads them to a VHS tape made by the survivor of a mysterious monster. From there, the game switches to the perspective of a teen trapped inside the mine tunnels where the monster resides.

Simple gameplay mechanics and a tense atmosphere

A short and tense horror experience

Cage-Face: Case 1 – The Mine is a short game, though it can seem frustratingly long due to repeatedly dying at the hands of the monster.

Still, as the game is free, it should be worth trying for fans of the genre.
