Crypt Raider
A downloadable crypt-raider for Windows
You are a crypt raider, on a quest to clear this crypt of its four foul treasures... You keep repeating to yourself, “I should bring them back to the front door.” With your hands shaking, you step into the unknown.
Your actions shape the soundtrack and lead to multiple endings.

Yeah.. I think nobody's gonna play this game anymore, so might as well tell you how it ends.
alright, so let me give my thoughts about this one... First and foremost the design is cool, love the retro art and the concept... But, at the beginning i was already annoyed cause the slowly walk of the protagonist, also the fact that the stamina drains so quickly and you cant boost speed untill it fully restore... But still i gave it a try and decided to move further... Then, after a loooong slowly walk... the game glitched trapping the statue under the ground... and yeah... no progress anymore. Again, there's a potential to create something really cool with this project. But it need a little attention on the details... Thank you for the game and hopefully the next project will be a bang
Okay, just patched everything you mentioned! Fresh version's already in the Downloads section. Thanks again for the help!
Thanks for the honest feedback! Did this happen right after releasing the statue? Or did you walk away (back to start/down the ladder) before it clipped? I’ll fix this asap. Also, totally get the frustration about stamina—I’ve seen a lot of similar comments on Game Jolt, so I’ll address this in the hotfix. Really appreciate you taking the time to share this. Super helpful for making the game better!
Thank you for resolving the bug, and also for dealing respectfully. I may have exaggerated my frustration a little when I wrote the message, I confess. Congratulations on your attitude and I'm sure you're on the right path. I'll try the game again!
Nah, all good! Since this is my first release, I’m navigating the process as players dive in. Seriously appreciate feedback like yours—it helps tons.
If you replay: There’s a second ending most miss with a deliberately subtle cutscene. Hope you find it! Thank you again
I like the silent hill 2 easter egg vibes of the secret ending!
Thanks!
