Sept. 2025

The game is marketed as a dungeon crawler, and it is that par excellence, but I think in terms of experience it feels closer to a really good stand-up comedy routine with audience involvement. The freeform text input means that you can entertain yourself for a very long time simply by throwing words at various characters, especially the Cryptmaster himself, who is an absolute delight and completely steals the show. Not only is it kind of baffling how many player actions and interactions the developers have clearly predicted, but the way the game responds is often significantly more involved than simply winking at you when it notices you pushing its limits. You can tell that everyone involved, from the writers to the voice actors, are having so much fun. I don't want to be any more specific than that because this is a game best experienced blind, but suffice to say I can't remember another game that made me burst out laughing as often as this delightful, absurd gem of an experience. EDIT: You're going to see that my playtime hasn't increased much since reviewing; this is because I decided to put the game down until I get a better keyboard since I think this *typing* game deserves a little more majesty than a cheap plastic HP thing.

My mom had a stroke about a year ago at this point and struggles a lot with work, memory, and energy. She likes video games to a degree especially puzzle-y ones. I bought this game on a whim and was trying it out when I got to the first riddle skull and my mom just happened to walk into my room and see me playing it and we both sat there for a minute trying to figure it out, and once we got it we we're both hooked. We had several nights where we stayed up very late playing this game. Even my dad joined in and he doesn't care much for video games. The game quite literally brought my family together and its a high I've been chasing since we beat this game. We are DESPERATELY hoping this game gets a sequel, because if it does I will buy it day one and have a great time with my mom once again. Cryptmaster isnt the best game I've ever played but it is one of if not the best experience I've had playing a game and I just want to thank the developers for that. It was great and I can only hope you guys make more.

Hilarious game that reminds me of the old chucklesome adventure games that used text parsers, such as the Leisure Suit Larry series. Except here, using verbs in a witty way to get a funny reaction is not only made for giggles, it's a full-fledged gameplay mechanic. The characters are humorous and charming (especially the titular Cryptmaster ). The combat is a bit chaotic. It requires you to memorize a dozen words and repeat them in a specific order or to improvise when the game throws enemies at you that alter the rules of the encounter, but this keeps the game interesting and fresh. There’s no gear or leveling systems , hence it's more of a word puzzle than a traditional dungeon crawler, so don’t expect Wizardry -like gameplay here. Also, this game's vocabulary is noteworthy. It feels like they voiced almost every word in the dictionary. The only major downside is that this game requires fluency in English (there's also a Spanish localization listed in the options). There are hints and other accessibility options (you can even turn this game into a turn-based one), but if English isn't your first language, then you might not enjoy this as much. Overall, it's a delightful mix of Wordle (and other word games), dark humor, a catchy OST, and an old-school D&D visual aesthetic.

Legend of Grimrock meets Scribblenauts via Stanley Parable. Impeccably crafted and very funny.
