From somewhere, a transmission...


A young-ish man sits in a dark room... it appears that he is talking to someone on- wait why am I telling you this? You can see the panel, can't you?


CHATTERBOX CLIENT booting up...

Welcome to CAVE STORY: RETOLD. This adventure, as of writing, isn't over yet, so things I say within this commentary may change drastically over the course of many, many updates, but whatever. As you can probably tell, this is the "developer commentary," definitely inspired by other comics' commentary, but mostly the commentary heard in VALVe games like Team Fortress 2, Portal, and more recently, the original Half-Life 2.

To listen to a commentary node, put your crosshair over the floating commentary symbol and press your use key. To stop a commentary node, put your crosshair over the rotating node and press the use key again. Some commentary nodes may take control of the game in order to show something to you. In these cases, simply press your use key again to stop the commentary.

Haha, just kidding. But imagine if that were actually a thing you had to do? Press the use key... this is a webcomic, not a videogame! Haha! Regardless, let me know what you think after you're done reading the comic. I can be reached in many places, but I'm most prevalent here on MSPFA. I read nearly every single one of your comments on the comic- I mean, it's how I get suggestions and ideas to keep the plot rolling. Anyways, thanks, and have fun.

Cave Story: Retold is a retelling of a jumping-and-shooting action game. Canon is just a suggestion. The future is screwed. Timelines are crossing. Can you save the world from destruction?

May contain scenes with pixelated violence. And blood. Reader discretion is advised.

Adventure Map

Inspired by old sprite comics (like Bob and George or MS Paint Masterpieces (which i am realizing are both Mega Man sprite comics (not to be confused with megaman sprite comic))), an old Cave Story sprite comic that I found on cavestory.org (probably Negative 127) and, in MSPFA fashion, MS Paint Adventures such as Problem Sleuth and Homestuck.
