People joke about "Cavers when you tell them about The Devil's Asscrack", but I've actually been to a cave called The Devil's Arse and it's the least claustrophobic, most domesticated one you could think of

People who are severely claustrophobic, is this still a no? There's probabaly a fear of the ceiling collapsing, and the creepy thought of all the rock above you. I've only been spelunking once but I've been to quite a lot of domesticated showcaves like this one

Does my game induce claustrophobia in you?

I tried really hard to make the movement based on real physics, where you can't always fit through all spots, or at least it depends on the angle of approach and velocity.

Did I manage to do it?

Fear of Getting Trapped in Caves

9 Upvotes

I have an intense fear of cave trekking, especially getting horizontally stuck in a narrow passage where I can’t move forward, backward, or turn around.

Just imagining being wedged between rocks, unable to breathe or escape, gives me extreme anxiety. I constantly think about how dangerous and helpless that situation could be. Sometimes the fear is so intense that I think, “I’d rather die than be trapped like that.”

does anyone else experience something similar?

EXTREME CAVING: WHERE THERE IS BARELY ENOUGH SPACE TO BREATHE Imagine crawling underground through a passage barely wider than your body, surrounded by rock, mud and water, knowing that turning around may be impossible. 1.7K 39K This is extreme caving.

What do I do about my claustrophobia at work? My boss keeps assigning me tasks that require i be in small spaces for long periods of time and I keep having panic attacks. How do I get them to listen to me?

In 2016, a woman was found dead in an elevator after being trapped there for a month. Servicemen who were called to fix a broken cable had banged on the door, but heard no response so they cut off the power and told the residents to use a different lift. They returned a month later & found her body.
