Story
Secret of the Lost Cavern takes the player back into the Palaeolithic period in prehistoric time, 15000 BC. At this time, our ancestors were able to communicate with one another, create fire, cook meat, cut flint, and make spears for hunting.
During this Stone Age adventure, the life of a young hunter, Arok, is revealed. While on a fruitless hunt, Arok discovers a cavern marked with a strange symbol. It reminds him of a charismatic traveler, Klem, who ventured through the lands of his clan a few years before. Klem is a painter and sorcerer with the gift of speaking with the spirits of the world through the gorgeous paintings he creates on the walls of the caverns he passes. Arok spent many days with this shaman artist, fascinated by his creations and his stories. After noticing the painter's talent in the cavern, Arok decides not to return to his clan, but rather follow the path of his mentor...
Gameplay
During this adventure, Arok will need to collect many items and survive the wilderness that lies ahead of him. He must learn how to build a spear thrower, lure a ferocious bear away from his lair, harpoon salmon, traverse raging rivers, and overcome many more obstacles.
Characters
Arok is a 15-year-old European Homo sapien from the Paleolithic period. This young hunter became an adventurer after his chance meeting with a charismatic traveler back in his childhood.
Klem is a genius painter, the Michelangelo of his time. Possessing shamanistic powers and knowledge of sorcery, he enjoys an outstanding presence and charisma. He inspired Arok with a deep appreciation for art and adventure.
Tika is Klem's daughter. She lives in a troglodyte shelter by a river, next to the Lascaux cave where her father works. She guides the novice along with other talented painters to the famous lair. In spite of her young age, she has already acquired great knowledge of painting and tests Arok's ability with the tablet's riddle.
The Flintnapper is a straightforward and cheerful man who exudes a quiet strength. He gives Arok invaluable advice on how best to choose and cut flint. Through him, Arok also learns more about the lifestyle of Klem and his people.
