If there is a treasure behind a Waterfall that is a predictable classic, but if there is not it is a Immense disappointment.

[Mothbean]

Can you even call a waterfall that doesn't have a cave behind it a waterfall?

If I don't see a hidden area behind my waterfall I uninstall

When you find something behind the waterfall: "Strange how they always put something behind these"
When you don't find something behind the waterfall: "Strange how they didn't put something behind this"

I replayed Final Fantasy 2 recently (for some reason). There's no treasure behind a waterfall in that game... but there is a _shopkeeper_ behind one. Like there's no room for a cave or anything, it's just someone/something standing behind a waterfall selling endgame magic. In Hell. The waterfall's in Hell by the way. Fine place to set up shop.

Gamers when there's a secret behind the waterfall: "Oh, how cliche."

Gamers when there's no secret behind the waterfall: "Oh, how disappointing!"

[sinistarman]

if you don't hide something behind a waterfall, you lack the definition of wonder.

I legitimately love this animation style

[CathodeRayKobold]

I expected her to find no cave and just smack into the stone, because that's how most waterfalls in rpgs ACTUALLY are.

[Eric-]

Unironically I really want to play a game that looks like this. Looks so cozy and that it has passion behind it.

[venomasmark]

Let's goooo, we love to see people make 3d animations using PS1 style graphics and such, it's gotta be the best gender out there

Hidden area behind waterfall: obvious
No hidden area behind waterfall: infuriating

[augustday]

In Elemntary School I used to love drawing waterfalls and hidden cave systems.
My favorite thing was a half-submerged cave where you have to swim under one section to get into a hidden chamber with an air pocket.

This is why A: the waterfall should rapidly sweep you away and B: the chest behind should just be a mimic

[jocelynputnam]

Learned this trick as a kid playing Wizard101 and ever since I always check behind the waterfalls

[LaserBungalow]

Not just RPGs, even Spyro does this. I love it so much.

New waterfall idea

behind it is a cozy little home of a hermit

unfortunately, all your eyes can make out of this place are just various piles of rusty & damp junk that are arranged to look like various "furnitures". And it's more unfortunate that the hermit looks very agitated because you just broke into its home

*Combat!*
It gets the jump on you

[Boris-uisk]

I'm gonna make a game, where if go behind a waterfall you just get eaten alive by a giant monster.

[soulechelon]

Yep. Decades of gaming has taught me to check Every. Single. Waterfall. Nine times out of ten there's something behind it. One times out of ten you'll glitch yourself out of the world. Either way, worth it.
