A FEW DETAILS BEFORE YOUR NEXT DIVE

Terms of use.

The terms for playing CaveCrawler and using this website.

Effective October 13, 2026

The quick version

The cave is free to depth 25. One optional purchase, Full Cave, opens the endless Deep Dark beyond it. Embers are earned by playing and are never sold. Your progress is saved on your device, so take care before clearing app data.

1. About these terms

These terms apply to CaveCrawler (also listed as CaveCrawler: Deep Dark) and this website, provided by Arc & Logic Solutions. By using them, you agree to these terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you are too young to enter an agreement where you live, your parent or guardian must review these terms and authorize your use and any purchase.

The Privacy Policy explains how information is handled. Apple and Google also apply their own store and payment terms. For an App Store download, Apple's standard licensed application agreement applies where applicable. Nothing here removes mandatory consumer rights.

2. Playing fairly

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable license to play the game and use its content for non-commercial entertainment, subject to these terms. Game artwork, code and other original content belong to us or our licensors; third-party works are used under the licenses listed on the licenses page. Downloading the game does not transfer ownership of that content.

Do not use the game to break the law, distribute unauthorized copies, or bypass purchase verification. Restrictions apply only where permitted by law and do not limit rights that the law specifically grants you.

3. Full Cave, Embers & purchases

The whole game is free to play to depth 25. Full Cave is an optional one-time purchase through Apple or Google Play that opens the endless Deep Dark beyond depth 25 for every future run; buying it at the sealed door also opens the door for the run in progress. It is not a subscription and has no scheduled expiration while the game remains available and the purchase remains valid. The store shows the local price and asks you to confirm before you are charged.

Embers, upgrades and other in-game rewards are earned only by playing. They have no cash value, cannot be bought, sold or transferred, and exist only inside your local save.

4. Local saves & restoring Full Cave

Progress and settings are stored on your device. The game has no cloud-save account. Clearing app data, removing the app or changing devices can lose that local data, and we cannot recover it.

Use Settings → Restore purchase with the same store account to restore Full Cave. A connection and successful store verification are required. Purchases do not transfer between Apple and Google Play.

5. Purchase problems & refunds

If Full Cave does not unlock, contact games@arcandlogic.com with your store, the approximate purchase date and the order reference. Do not send payment-card details, and avoid buying again while a purchase is pending.

Refunds are handled under the applicable store's process and your legal rights. You can ask through Apple's refund instructions or Google Play's refund instructions. A refunded, canceled or revoked purchase ends Full Cave access for new runs. Nothing in these terms makes a non-waivable refund right unavailable.

6. Updates & availability

We may update content, balance and features to maintain and improve the game. Compatibility may vary by platform or version. Purchase features depend on your connection and on third-party services and may be interrupted. We will communicate material changes or discontinuation as required by law and respect rights relating to content you have already purchased.

You can stop using the game at any time. These terms may be revised; we will update the effective date and provide additional notice or seek agreement where required.
