The Crypt is a work in progress, slated for release in the Fall of 2014.
The Crypt takes place in a randomly generated maze, that the player must enter, find 4 runestones, and get out, without being caught by the crypt walker. The crypt walker is a creature who dwells within its halls, and as soon as you enter the crypt, he begins hunting you.
Every game is quick, and every game is different.
The premise behind this game is basically, “The scariest game you’ve ever played”. Get in, get out, and don’t stop running, and don’t look back.
The game makes heavy use of important technical solutions:
- Random maze generation using a maze generation algorithm.
- Realtime A* pathfinding to control the monster’s patrol.
- Maze solving using the same algorithm.
- Simple controls that involve turning left or right as you run quickly through the maze.
The mood is very dark and creepy, and the game uses many psychological tricks to increase the fear and suspense.
