Cave Story or Doukutsu Monogatari is the critically acclaimed opus by indie
game developer Pixel, originally created as a tribute to games like Metroid
and Castlevania. Cave Story is a 2D platformer in the "metroidvania" tradition,
with a classic, world-saving hero and an emphasis on exploration and discovery.
This version is a port of NXEngine, a complete GPL open-source clone/rewrite
of Cave Story. The english translated version of the game data is included,
which is done by Aeon Genesis Translations. If you wish to play in another
language, download a different localized version, and overwrite "Doukutsu.exe"
and the contents of the "data" drawer before starting the game for the first
time.
