Things get real weird in this dungeon crawler where you type to succeed

The strange, stylish Cryptmaster has released on Steam, a text-driven graphical dungeon crawler with a striking black-and-white aesthetic. The pitch? Everything in Cryptmaster is controlled by saying anything you'd like. Typing in a word is what gives you powers, solves puzzles, and moves your game forward...

This bizarre but beautiful word-based dungeon crawler is out now

When you're stuck deep underground in a black and white dungeon with no escape, it'd be understandable if spelling wasn't foremost on your mind. In Cryptmaster you'll have to sharpen your lexicon as it's words which will help see you taste fresh air again. Words and smashing a few enemies of course, in fine dungeon crawler tradition.

Cryptmaster Ask Me Anything (AMA)

Hey doomed souls,

Yesterday my full crypts were launched to the whole world and underworld. I would first like to thank all the poor souls who came and got consumed by my catacombs. For all the surviving souls who are still trapped in my crypts, I am surprised you survived that long and as a reward I will be hosting an AMA on the Cryptmaster subreddit along with my lower dev minions Lee and Paul starting at 9am PDT.

If you have any burning questions you would like to ask the developers or me, the amazing Cryptmaster, be sure to ask there. My minion will open up a post there once the AMA starts.

Cryptmaster is now available!

Hey doomed souls,

I have finally completed my gloomy inescapable crypts and I’m ready to showcase it to the next poor souls who want to take a little peek around and meet the not so friendly local toadmen. I have specially designed the crypts myself to be the most painful and to be inescapable while also being the most entertaining me of course. Countless souls will enter but very few will exit.

I’m going to be sitting back and watching my hard work in action as players suffer through the crypts. I hope you know how to spell well.

Be sure to leave a review so that more souls can be attracted to the crypts. I may give you an extra letter for your troubles.

Less than a week until launch

Hey doomed souls,

We are less than a week from the full launch of the unholy crusade to escape my crypts.. I can't wait to take your souls to fight the grotesque toadmen and scheming rats in the area. Don't forget to desecrate all the healing alters along the way. How you do it? I don't really care.

I might even smile for this monumental occasion. May 9th the soulgates will open and the toadmen will be there to welcome you. I hope you will fight long and hard in my crypts to entertain me.
