Pondering your orb is OUT, conniving your icosahedron is IN. Been obsessing hard over the game lately #cryptmaster #fanart

Art by tinted mint. A cloaked figure clad in shadow is magically suspending an icosahedron in mid-air, glaring at the viewer with a scheming look in his eye. The person depicted, called the Cryptmaster, is an undead, fictional, ghoulish-looking character with sunken, white eyes and irregular, black horns protruding out of his head.

5. Cryptmaster I was expecting a more traditional old school dungeon crawler but I ended up finding a very innovative, humorous experience where I had to make sure to have enough souls on hand in order to summon the publisher's mascot. Highly Recommend

A White, decrepit face bathed in darkness inspects an unknown item in a chest found. The party, consisting of 4 undead ghouls, must ask the face, the titular cryptmaster, to describe and analyze the object in order for the collective five of them to remember the object in the chests name.

I have again been asked if AI was used to make my game. For transparency, my minions used generative AI to make all the parts of the game that didn't benefit from a human touch, were too boring to make or not important enough to craft by hand. In other words, we didn't use any generative AI.

19. Cryptmaster My game of the year for 2024, it's just utterly brilliant, a genius game. Part dungeon crawler, part cursed typing tutor, like Mavis Beacon teaches necromancer. Play it and the Cryptmaster is gonna delight you with every wry, sardonic fully voiced line.

oh, you know what might actually be a strangely good fit? cryptmaster is a crawler game and it's combat is still pretty cooldown-y, but all the moves are executed by typing out the word of the move instead of clicking from a menu. it's way more engaging in a way that's hard to describe.

Cryptmaster is a hilarious and inventive game; I highly recommend it. I admit I did feel dumb playing it, though: remembering all the commands in the heat of battle was just too much for my smooth brain.

Meanwhile, you can load up Cryptmaster and have NPCs spout fully-voiced responses, (albeit very SIMPLE responses most of the time, but I digress,) to just about any inane bullshit you could possibly think to type at them. SKILL. ISSUE.
