A Cave’s Story: The Cave introduces its characters

Ron Gilbert’s latest project, The Cave, will be revisiting a concept from one of his earlier games; Maniac Mansion. Where that game asked you to pick two of six characters, The Cave will have you put on the choosing hat and select three from seven. But who are these characters, and why are they exploring a talking cave?

This trailer hopes to answer at least some small part of those questions, by showing you The Hillybilly, The Scientist, The Monk and The Twins (who, for the purposes of this title, count as a single entity).

The Cave is due in January 2013.
