Cryptica on Steam Cryptica is a narrative-based psychological horror game where the apocalypse is just the beginning. Explore the enigmatic lands of Antarctica and its surrounding areas while the world ends.

With the country falling apart, it’s hard to get stoked about a video game I’m developing. Advertising this shit feels like cognitive dissonance and it is.

Anyways got my UI looking clean af and you should wishlist this before the world ends.

Let’s go!!!

I have key art/props that i commissioned but most of it is various modular stuff from market place all mixed together.

Cozy?

A low-poly cop character with the dialogue "i've wanted to shoot people ever since i was a baby"

TÖLT IS GOING WELL

You can record as mp4 videos but it’s limited to 1080, and yes WebM files are the absolute worst. NLEs hate them.

These are some art assets I made for my game, “Cryptica” I photoshopped in game screenshots to look like old photographs, and I reimport in as a framed photograph in a level somewhere. Lots of work, hopefully people appreciate it haha

The Ningen is a rare humanoid cryptid which is said to reside in the oceans around Antartica. You can find this creature in my game if you look hard enough…

I felt this so specifically, it hurt.

Real game developers know…

Submechanophobia

Anamorphic lens flares in my indie game. ✅

I feel you, it’s such a slow grind, but I always remember how sad I felt after the launch of my previous games, like I had a creative void, nothing to work on or channel my creativity into. We get to take our time, which is a luxury for game development haha.

I love this, such a relatable sight. I now have nostalgia for a traffic jam.

I’m doing something similar where you are left in the wake of a rapture, and it’s weird and doesn’t feel like a good thing to get raptured haha

That’s what I like to hear! Thanks man!

Literally got locked out of my twitter account today right when have edited a snippet of gameplay footage from Cryptica to showcase. Guess it’ll be a Bluesky exclusive!

Still working on my indie game. The grind never stops.

“The Canines of Cryptica”

Must put dogs into all my video games. It’s a personal rule I must always abide by.

Thanks! It feels so much better.

Old game dev set up vs new

The secret planetary bunkers are scattered all across the desolate lands of Antarctica. There are 10 in total. If you manage to unlock them, macabre horrors await.

(These are all optional side quests)

Haha 😂 yes it’s fairly outrageous. I’ll get the other one level soon as I can.
