Double Fine's latest adventure The Cave drops next week
The Cave publisher Sega has pinned down the release schedule for this new adventure game from the joyful minds at Double Fine Productions. Even though it's coming to several digital distribution services, there thankfully aren't any major discrepancies with respect to individual platform launches. Screw your annoying timed exclusivity deals! First up are the Wii U eShop and PlayStation Network releases on January 22, 2013, followed by Steam and Xbox Live Arcade a day later. The Cave's price, $14.99 / 1200 Microsoft Points, will be consistent across all versions. I feel like I have limited knowledge about much of the game outside of its mechanics, which is great. Something tells me going in mostly blind will pay off. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
