About
Crypterion is an open-world visual novel in a distant future where anyone can rise to power—including you. As a new arrival in the Rimshot system, you are free to forge your own destiny, conquering space by mastery of trade, politics, celebrity status through galactic TV or... Other means.
Crypterion is a new approach to visual novels, mixing open-world adventuring with a complex plot where every choice matters and no two playthroughs will ever be the same. Start by defining your character, navigate down a myriad of branching paths, and become the most powerful person in Rimshot.
Unique blend of visual novels, point-and-click adventures, and open-world exploration, with open-ended gameplay allowing you to decide which way to rise to the top.
Over two hundred choices branching the plot into multiple non-overlapping story arcs, fleshed out by a script totaling over 120,000 words.
Customizable main character with selectable preferences, dislikes, and more, which the game will react to - and more changes occur as you progress through the game.
Explore 6 unique planets of the Rimshot system, seeking a path to riches and power. Build a business, look for spoils, become a TV celebrity - and more!
Failure is not an option: When your character stumbles, some paths close, others open - even if these lead to places where you have to work off your debt... Or launch a daring escape.
Interact with nearly 40 distinct characters, including eleven unique crewmates. A Saboteur, Genius, Stowaway, Mechanic, Security Officer, Informant, Cook, Doctor, Pilot, Guardian, and Secret Agent. Build relations, forge lasting friendships, and even entertain marriage proposals.
Players can submit questions on our Discord for a chance to be featured on the in-game TV show, Face To Face®! Join Sunny Dae, everyone’s favorite TV host, as he asks hard-hitting questions to his guests. Plus, share your fan art with the community—your work might be displayed in-game at locations like the gallery, auction house, treasury, and other points of interest!
