“The Cave” is the brain child of Ron Gilbert, a game writer known primarily for his work on old LucasArts Adventure games, like “Maniac Mansion” and the ‘Monkey Island’ franchise. More recently, however, Gilbert has been associated with misbegotten ventures, such as the first two Penny Arcade “On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness” episodes from Hothead games and the tragedies of ‘Putt-Putt,’ ‘Freddi Fish,’ and ‘Pajama Sam’ from Humongous Entertainment. Fortunately, “The Cave” is much more within Gilbert’s wheelhouse, and he temporarily joined former LucasArts colleague, Tim Shafer’s, DoubleFine Productions for the sake of creating this one game.
