In a small city of Mayfeather, there lives Cally, a 7-year-old girl with loving parents and a knack for adventure. Unfortunately, it's just that she was unlucky enough to witness her parents kidnapped by Herbert, a mad scientist/psychic hell-bent on [[TakeOverTheWorld conquering the world]] with his insurmountable army of monsters and robots hidden the city's vast and varied underground caves, ready to be unleashed.

'''Cally's Caves''' is a series of side-scrolling RunAndGun {{Metroidvania}} game developed by [=VDO=] Games, originally as an [[UsefulNotes/AndroidGames Android-exclusive mobile game]]. Players take control of Cally as she navigates through the Caves and its various biomes, using a variety of firearms to blast away at a lot of enemies, as well as her sword for cut down foes and deflecting enemy projectiles. One of its most well-known features in ''Cally's Caves'' is that, from ''Cally's Cave 2'' onwards, every gun in Cally's arsenal can be evolved into its ever-stranger upgrades usually by killing enemies with that gun, with the fourth game adding the ability to customize its properties.
