SAY ANYTHING in this bizarre dungeon adventure where words control everything. Fill in the blanks with text or voice to uncover lost abilities, embark on strange quests, and solve mindbending riddles. Can you conquer the crypt and uncover the mystery at the heart of CRYPTMASTER?
Players control a party of four undead heroes, each with a unique "word" that you must guess by providing letters one-by-one. Correctly identifying a character's word unlocks new abilities and memories for that hero. The game features an expansive vocabulary, allowing you to type almost any word and receive a clever, personalized response from the Cryptmaster or other characters.
Battles play out in a real-time or turn-based typing format. You must quickly type out abilities and attack words to defeat enemies. The game introduces strategic twists, such as foes that block the use of certain letters, forcing you to adapt your typing-based combat approach. Mastering the nuanced typing mechanics is key to progressing through the game.
Instead of traditional RPG progression, you advance your party's power by unlocking new words and abilities. Defeating enemies allows you to take letters from their names, which you can then use to guess and complete new words. This creates a satisfying loop of exploration, word puzzle-solving, and character growth.
One of the game's highlights is how it encourages experimentation with the typing mechanics. Typing in almost any word prompts a response, leading to hilarious and unexpected interactions. This emergent gameplay rewards creative thinking and a willingness to try unconventional approaches.
Recognizing the typing-focused gameplay may not suit everyone, the developers included options like a turn-based combat mode. This allows players of various skill levels and accessibility needs to engage with and enjoy the game's unique mechanics.
