Settings

Visual door hintsShow faint dots where doors are.

Spoken narrationRead room descriptions aloud.

Haptic feedbackVibrate on walls (Android & native iOS app).

Door pingsTone for each available door when you enter a room.

Main-vein chimeBright chord when you step along the main route (Stage 2+).

Listen Mode (auto)Stand still 4 seconds and the cave fades in: drips, wind, distant landmarks. Move = exit. Listening rewards patience.

Swipe gesturesSwipe anywhere to move. Single tap = listen. Two-finger tap = teleport home.

Hide on-screen padFor blind players using swipe. Pad disappears, gestures still work.

Audio rumble (iOS)Low buzz when haptics aren't supported.

Boost atmosphere volumeUse higher volumes for iPhone speakers / quiet environments.

Gesture soundsFriction sound while dragging your finger. Off by default — too noisy.

Crossover passagesAfter you find the exit, the cave reveals shortcuts that connect distant rooms. Off = strict tree (simpler mental map).

Cave themeClassic = warm stone & wind. Crystal Grotto = cooler, brighter, shimmer.
