Characters The Cave Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
In The Cave, the player chooses three out of seven characters and explores locations within the cave with them. Depending on the choice, some of the locations connected with characters which have not been chosen, won't be available, as reaching them required a special skill to open the passage.
The order in which characters are chosen doesn't matter - the game can be finished regardless of the chosen team, though some of the puzzles can be solved in alternative ways by using the special skills of the characters.
If you want to learn the whole story but not necessarily finish the game three times, leave the Knight and Hillbilly for the last playthrough. Their locations are closest to The Campfire, so that way you will save time on having to pass through The Mine, Zoo and Island.
