About The Crimping
Gameplay
The Crimping is a first-person action-adventure game featuring campy humor, puzzle-solving, and a variety of combat and platforming challenges. You'll meet an assortment of humorous and frightful characters set in a large, continuous world above and deep below the streets of Portland, Oregon. While a true-life ghost story is at the heart of the game, you'll also find plenty of action and many Easter eggs to find, including a fully-functioning 1980s personal computer with Rogue and other classic games.
An indie charmer with carefully designed environments, hilarious AI voices, and a wide assortment of gameplay, The Crimping is a truly unique adventure!
The Story
- "Hidden beneath Portland, Oregon's historical downtown buildings is a vast underground network of tunnels and cells that were used to capture and enslave tens of thousands of unsuspecting men and women. Many poor souls died in those so-called 'Shanghai Tunnels,' which are said to be one of the most haunted places in the world."
In The Crimping, you experience a real-life haunted hotel that was once used to "crimp" or capture people. As you uncover the mysteries of the hotel's otherworldly inhabitants, you may find yourself drawn into the dangerous horrors of the Shanghai Tunnels. Only your wits and reflexes can save you the world below.
Will you survive The Crimping or will your fate be to join the thousands haunting Portland's darkest dungeons? Solve the mystery of Rose's restless soul in this light-hearted action adventure game based on real-life ghosts and haunted locations!

It's a fun little jaunt, the platforming section at the end is terrible due to the jumps being inconsistent and floaty as well as the rocks basically sliding you if your off a little from the target jump After some more time int he floating platforming section this game is bad don't buy3 found this helpful
The Crimping was Made is Less then a month as a Challenge for one of my Videos. The shear amount of work that was put into the game, in such a short space of time, is staggering. Mama Makes Games Is a truly gifted developer! The Crimping Is Campy story driven game, with bizarrely humorous characters, nice spooks and is short but sweet. and with the NEW update the last section of the game features some truly challenging platforming, which i loved!3 found this helpful
Let me start off by saying, I had no idea that this was set in Portland going into it. Portland is my hometown so I kind of geeked out over that. The fact that there's voice acting in a horror game is great and the fact that it's a campy horror game I think the AI adds to that level of it. With bad delivery making it seem like an 80 horror movie/porn? something lol. Also thank you for brightness feature. If you want a campy horror game that can make you jump and laugh at the same time it's for sure with a play through. https://youtu.be/6aKlqRFa8SQ2 found this helpful
Fantastic game with humour you never knew a horror game needed. Highly recommend you check this out for yourself1 found this helpful
I played this on stream and my community loved it! The campiness of this game is what truly makes it! Thank you for both the laughs and the scares, I enjoyed every second of this. I think you should make more campy horror games, the indie genre needs more of them.1 found this helpful
strange but fun game. set in a historic american haunted location, fully AI voice acted, not very long but has an achievement for fully listening to the entertainer be played on the piano. curio more than classic but still interesting.
