This game gave me a good feeling about the ease of inflicting infinity on others and then the depreciation of my path since monsters cannot be exterminated and resources have become worthless, rather rare sensations of freedom
Hello, so, i don't know how to express this in a way that conveys how much i love this, but this enters my top 3 of the BEST games i've encountered in Itch.io. Hell, one of the best experimental games in general. It's such an endearing surreal experience and games like yours is why i call games art. And, well, i love the oniric feel it has for me. I've been playing this almost since it came out, but i didn't make a review at the time because i didn't knew (and i still don't to be honest) how to express the genuine excitement of playing this. I really wish you the best, you made something beautiful and damn, i have to read the volume 2 of Bessttsy City...
ive been waiting for this game since the milisecond it was announced. crypt worlds is a game that changed me forever, always holds a deep place in my heart. Thank you so much for what you do. Very inspiring artist.
This is amazing. There are so many places to find in this game! I think my favourite area so far was the dark swamp/lake area with the characters in boats. Something I do miss is the lighting from the earlier versions of the game, it really added to the atmosphere (not sure if this has been changed, I downloaded the game a few months ago when it came out). Either way, it's a very immersive world. I just got a new computer recently which is much faster, so now I can finally play lag-free. Need to give the game another go!
hmm... the movement feels strange compared to the build i've played in the past deacceleration is reallyyy slow... takes a good second to stop regardless of if i'm using the bedazzled version or not also the way i'm facing affects my movement in the air feels uncomfortable and strange... wondering if there's something wrong with my setup? or if the game is just intended to be this way hope its not intended to be like this, it feels really uncomfortable.. EDIT: lack of a mouse sensitivity slider is also quite discouraging... i've been really excited to play this but.. mm... maybe i'll try again later when i'm feeling better. feeling a bit off atm and this isn't helping
After playing the game probably 10-20 hours by now, both just for fun and to get footage for a video, my main gripes would be that the character controller is definitely odd and quite uncomfortable to use, and the lack of mouse sensitivity or FOV options are rough for quality of life - the FOV quite subtly gives the game a sort of nausea-inducing feeling in addition to the character controller.
Then, on top of that, the lighting being so extreme makes it a lot to... take in when you're playing.
I suspect some of these changes are related to the way the character controller is affected by the various armor pieces you can get which can be activated/deactivated to give bonuses to your movement.
I would imagine there was an earlier character controller that was a bit more intuitive and then they had to create a new one that was able to receive all these bonuses to various aspects of it, and creating a first person character controller from scratch is quite a frustrating and complex task. I don't blame them but I'd love to see a new version one day that uses a revamped character controller and has FOV and mouse sensitivity options.
Did just about everything outside of finding that last damn coffin. Is there any sort of discord for this game/community? I'd like to share shenanigans and also see how others played.
I am so very excited to see this get a "final" release! I am workin on a Linux machine at the moment and not well versed in it's operation. How do I run/install this beautiful piece of art?
Hi i just wanted to say that Crypt Worlds is like my favorite bizarro indie game and i have finished it like 4 times and i JUST found out the sequel released and just wanted to say thank you for your great work over the years. its genuinely inspiring.
Oh also just to ask a question. wasn't there a fully custom engine made for crypt underworlds? i noticed the github page has been scrubbed of all mentions of the game, and the game itself is in unity. did something happen that lead to switching back to it?
It's a bit of a kerfuffle with regards to the two developers of the game, I wouldn't discuss it here as it seems to be a sensitive subject. Basically one of the developers wanted to recreate the engine from scratch and one of the developers wanted to just get the game finished and shipped.
At this point I think I've played 8 hours at least, I've beaten the game, and seen what I assume must be every area. I'm really impressed by the game and it's clear how much work has gone into it. It has a great sense of humor, a wonderful aesthetic, and I love some of the more subdued and quieter areas in the game like the Museum, Ghost Buffet, Necropolis, Paradise Garden, Cosmos, Lonely Apartment, etc... in comparison to the many loud, abrasive areas just absolutely chock full of stuff. I'm really glad you decided to release it and I hope that releasing it will mean you can take a break for a while and let your mind cool down after spending so much of your life working on this thing. I know just as well that a project like this can sort of destroy your brain over time.
As far as negatives, I wish the 3d-space-swirl/spin effect when you get hit by bombs or touch meat/conveyer belts, and the fact that hotdogs force you to vomit for 10 seconds (which makes the game near-unplayable in many areas when you unblock the hotdog factory) were changed. Perhaps an Iron Stomach upgrade to make it so you can eat hotdogs like burgers instead of getting force-bezoar'd and an Iron Equillibrium upgrade to remove the spin effect would do a lot to help the quality of life.
The lighting is obviously not ideal but you're clearly aware of that, so I don't think it helps to mention that, and I love the aesthetic of the whole thing, I just wish some areas weren't so mind-meltingly bright in the bedazzled version.
The character controller seems to have a glitch that causes it to frequently veer off in one direction rather than go straight forward much of the time, I'm not sure what causes that but it can be pretty annoying sometimes.
I've been playing the game, and... wow. It's been really fun so far! Visited many places, did a lot, it's been a really fun and weird and sometimes disturbing time! Even tho I never played Crypt Worlds, which folks say is easier to get into, I honestly thought it was pretty smooth goin'!
Also, uh, something I just wanted to check up... where did you get the audio for the Cowboys and Archeologists? I'm just asking 'cus, I could be wrong, but... it's literally a sentence in my home language! It's Portuguese, maybe with some accent from the south, Alentejo maybe! "Nunca mais vem... solinho", it's this, right?
Hearing about this made my entire month. I'm sad that I didn't get to try it sooner. The original Crypt Worlds is one of my favorite games, and a big inspiration for my game development aspirations. Thank you for putting your art out into the world, it does not go unappreciated.
Seems like there's an issue with piss upgrades that you get from the Piss Guild members, they don't do anything and disappear permanently if you reduce the level.
The bedazzling is lovely! Such a different mood to some places. Though, I wonder if I had played this version first if I would have found as much stuff. More dark areas.
Also, enjoy vacation! Free yourself from the curse of toil.

=)
this game fucks so hard
This is my personal game of the year for 2023, it's so good :D

a masterpiece!!
Did a full playthrough finally, love the game, keep up the great work! (also where is the final drac statue??)
waaaaa
The 64 Linux build fades to a yellow screen and doesn't do anything, and the regular Linux build crashes my computer entirely.
I've been waiting for this game since the original came out, but I guess I'll have to wait a little longer until I get ahold of a Windows machine.
Holy shit. I never thought I would live to see the day this finally came out.
I am so very excited to see this get a "final" release! I am workin on a Linux machine at the moment and not well versed in it's operation. How do I run/install this beautiful piece of art?
Local wizards have cast spells upon my laptop. Piss to the World! <3

this was very special thank u so much, crypt worlds was wildly inspiring to what i wanted to do and this is just fantastic and fun,, and meaningful.
When we needed her most... she returned
