About Crypt

✦ AI summary

Crypt is a deliberately obtuse puzzle adventure where you descend into a crypt to steal an essence and escape while being hunted by an unseen presence. The game intentionally withholds helpful information and subverts expectations to create an intentionally frustrating experience designed more for pranking friends than providing enjoyable gameplay.

If you've found this game by chance through Steam, I advise you not to play it.
My name is Valefisk, and I'm a YouTuber. I made this game as a joke - it's not designed to be fun, but to be awful to play. And in this it succeeds.
This version that has found its way to Steam is slightly different from the one in the original video. This one is beatable.

Personally I think the way this game is best played is with you making someone else play it with no context as to what the game contains. It presents itself (successfully) as a real indie game until you really start to play it, so feel free to torture your friends with this abomination of an experience.

Enter the Crypt.
  • Retrieve the Essence and Make your Escape.
    The objective is - on the surface - simple. Steal the jar from the Crypt and then make your escape. The idea is easy, but finding all the keys wont be.
  • Solve the Puzzles.
    Can you actually solve the puzzles necessary to access the keys to escape? Sure you can. Does the game include any actual helpful information as to how to solve them? Of course not. Trust your instincts, and not your eyes.
  • Survive Him.
    You are not alone down within the Crypt. Someone or something is there with you - and it's never too far behind you.
  • Escape!
    Once you've gotten all the keys, you can finally open the door to Escape...assuming you've done everything right. I mean, I put an achievement in for winning so it's definitely possible - perhaps you've simply missed a nasty prerequisite...

Good luck. You're gonna need it.

✦ AI summary

Crypt is a rage game that aims to frustrate players through deliberately unpleasant gameplay, which some find genuinely unsettling while others simply find tedious and unfun. Players generally agree the game succeeds at being uncomfortable and aggravating to experience, but opinions diverge sharply on whether that accomplishment is worth anyone's time. Most reviewers suggest this is not worth playing.

Horror dungeon crawler walking simulator in a labyrinth maze underground in a crypt. It's quite simplistic and reminiscent of classic games.

This genuinely frightened me at some points, which makes it all the more annoying. Succeeds in it's stated goal of being unbearable to play. Congratulations. I just know you are so proud of yourself! 1/10

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
