The story:
Living far below the planet's surface the inhabitants of the floating city of Erril believe that nothing lies beyond their city and networks of caves and caverns. No one ever even thought much about it because life was easy and everything they needed existed within their realm. You, however, have the spirit of adventure and an inquisitive mind and believe otherwise. Recently tho things weren't so easy going and without problems, there were isolated instances of strange creatures milling around and stealing food and sometimes even daring to enter the city and make off with some of it's inhabitants! Now you decide to make the unknown voyage out of your realm and see for yourself weather all that exists lies within your cavernous home...

General gameplay:
After listening to the opening speech, visit the shop by going straight up from starting the game and purchase a torch and some pizza. You start off the game with a shovel, don't forget to equip it! Fight enemies and bosses in the caves, Note, You cannot leave any dens until the enemies in that den are defeated. Tip for fighting monsters: your weapon uses an auto aim feature, so when the enemy is moving and changing directions they are sometimes difficult to hit, you need to outsmart them by moving around them in a clockwise or counterclockwise pattern as you shoot. Find keys to unlock areas in the caves, Use your shovel to find items or buy them in the shop, you cannot buy keys in the shop. The goal of the game is to find your way out of the realm that everyone thinks is the only existence!
