Here’s a solid, structured review of . Overview Alissa and the Have-nots Cavern is a narrative-driven RPG Maker-style adventure (likely made with Wolf RPG Editor or similar) focusing on a young heroine, Alissa, who ventures into a mysterious, resource-scarce underground cavern. Version 1.1 (by creator Toritora ) refines earlier builds, polishing mechanics and expanding story beats. Story & Setting – ★★★★☆ (4/5) The premise is simple but effective: Alissa’s village faces a dire shortage of essential goods, forcing her to explore the forbidden “Have-nots Cavern” — a labyrinthine pit where previous seekers have vanished. The writing balances melancholy with quiet determination. Alissa is a likable everygirl, not an overpowered hero, which grounds the stakes.

Sound effects (footsteps, distant growls) are crisp and well-placed. Score: 7.5/10 Recommended for fans of atmospheric, low-resource survival-RPGs like Lisa the Painful or Fear & Hunger (but less brutal). Story & Setting – ★★★★☆ (4/5) The premise
