@caseyexplosion.bsky.social has recommended a series of great indie games that you should check out. Three of those included are also featured in my book Indie Game Works. You can get insight into how Nine Sols, Cryptmaster, and Mundaun were made with developer input and exclusive artwork.

Cryptmaster ($16.24) - Mavis Beacon Teaches Dungeon Crawling. a playful monochrome RPG with battle and jokes around every corner. do battle, cast spells, solve riddles... all by typing! say anything! ...seriously, type whatever. see what happens. store.steampowered.com/app/1885110/...

Cryptmaster turns language itself into a dungeon, fusing surreal visuals with inventive mechanics and dark humour. See how its distinctive style was developed in Indie Game Works. #IndieGames #GameArt @akuparagames.bsky.social @farmergnome.bsky.social @wiwyums.bsky.social

eternally bothering me that my cryptmaster mii party (joro, syn, maz, and nix) have all been completed for weeks at this point, but the shop refuses to give me a turban (i know it exists) so i dont feel like i can post them yet

Cryptmaster is currently 55% off on Fanatical and is god damn brilliant

Should you ask me if I used AI to help make my game, you will receive the exact same look that a bricklayer would give you if you asked them "Did you get some monkeys to help with that wall?"

Cryptmaster has nice-nice rat persons in it! Good-good game! But: don't take-take from Qrik! Ask-ask @thecryptmaster.bsky.social!

I made this version back in '24 and still stand by it.

happy pride month, have a very fucked up woman #Cryptmaster #sketch #fanart

Just one pair of working knees to share between four undead. Nightmare joint rotation.

I'm not always monochrome. And yes, you filthy ghouls, I'm naked behind there...

This parallels the title to one of my favorite poems, and one of the philosophies of art I try to live by: "Nothing Is Too Small Not To Be Wondered About"

What are we doing, Cryptmaster? Why must you insist on these words? twitch.tv/saintguard

Strongest possible recommendation for @thecryptmaster.bsky.social -- fantastic game, well worth the price of the bundle all on its own

Our demo today was "Cryptmaster", a game where you spell out what you want to do. It's very fun with a great art style and a good sense of humor. Definitely check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/1885110/...

Happy weekend everyone! What are you playing this weekend? www.gamerheadspodcast.com/post/the-wee...

These are some of my very favourite games and @joerichardson.bsky.social should be encouraged to make more of them! I recommended locking him in a dungeon and forcing him to work but @akuparagames.bsky.social seem to think it's better to keep him financially stable. Whatever.

Take a listen to this great interview with one of our lead testers, who's also worked on Blue Prince, Cryptmaster, and so much more!

Cryptmaster is amazing

Congratulations to my newest stablemates on the launch of this wonderful SLICE of nostalgic mayhem!

I've just finished this delightful deduction game and thoroughly recommend it to fans of the genre. It was a real skull-scratcher in places but deeply satisfying to solve.

Could I get some support from fellow devs and creatives? We got a negative review on Steam for AI use... despite there being absolutely *no* AI use in our game. TL;DR? Give a chance to show that AI wasn't used, or you'll be harming the very same artists you claim to be helping.❤️

I am once again tapping a bony digit on this sign.

Cryptmaster ($16.24) - Mavis Beacon Teaches Dungeon Crawling. in this monochrome RPG, swing your sword, cast powerful spells, solve riddles... all by typing! type anything! ...seriously, type anything. fuck around. see what happens when you do. store.steampowered.com/app/1885110/...

I must also insist you allow yourself the pleasure of "Cryptmaster," but only if you're the kind of person who likes word games with clever stories and wry, charming narrators. store.steampowered.com/app/1885110/...

Cryptmaster from @Farmergnome is a creepy adventure deduction game where you use words to control everything. PEGI 12 and ESRB EVERYONE 10+. It's a single-player game for PC, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox X|S. www.familygamingdatabase.com/game/Cryptma...

If you like word games, and I suspect many of you do, I cannot recommend this delightful and deeply creative little tomb-botherer enough. It has been putting a crimp in my productivity all day. store.steampowered.com/app/3531630/...

Hello... This looks like exactly my sort of tomb, can't wait to take a closer look!

Sena did this work on Cryptmaster and that game is renown for it's incredible voicework. I can 100% recommend Sena from years of working with her on multiple projects.
