Nice to see a game which is based on real events! I loved the different interactions with the painting (especially creating it) and was surprised how easily it was erased. Definitely learnt something by that, so thanks! :) I included it in our compilation article about this episode of the Bitsy Jam and it's also featured in the related showcase video along with three other nice entries. <3 Keep up the good work!
What's sad is that in 1977 Jean Clottes (who studied these drawings) warned people about the degradations, but didn't know what to do about it. Had someone put a grill at the entrance or a frame around the drawings, it would have excite curiosity. Back in the days there was no reglementations around caves... So basically anyone willing to could enter and draw whatever they want on walls. Sorry for the long post!
