Cryptid Crew

About This Game

You’re a freshly-bitten werewolf who’s embraced their monster life… but what kind of life is it without friends? Do some traveling, meet some cool monsters and cryptids, and even go on dates! Each section of this visual novel will add a new monster to your list of friends until you’ve got yourself a wicked cool crew. And then you can date them. So really, it’s a win-win.

Cryptid Crew is a visual novel that’s divided into two main parts: a road trip where you meet and befriend the main characters, and then an unlockable dating sim where you can either go on dates or get to know them a bit more as friends.

There are 10 dateable characters: 3 girls, 4 guys, and 3 non-binary pals. They’re a healthy mix of legendary and local cryptids and monsters!

Content advisory: Cryptid Crew contains screen shakes and flashes, swearing, at least one middle finger, and light (cartoony) gore.

Features:

• diverse player options (most with customized narration)
• option to turn off swearing by the player character (swearwolf vs werewolf)
• a whole lot of hand-painted trees
