In our world, you can die at any time, for no reason whatsoever. This single fact has acted the primary inspiration for Nindendy’s new Triple-A HitGame “Elizabeth Crypt Girl: The Game That Plays You”.
A reflecting pool of the futility we all experience, “Crypt Game Desire” is the only game that painstakingly replicates the banal conditions which define all our lives. You will collect gold, only to forget what point there is in collecting gold. You will grind against the walls of the crypts, yearning for any sensation in this lonely hellworld. You will laugh- and then realize there is nothing to laugh about- and then cry. Then you will cry even more. After several hours of this your tears will flood the room and you will suffocate as a result of your own realizations into the true nature of waking life.
Enter Crypt World- the knife which will cut through the thin veil which obscures the infinite nothingness contained within our lives. Nothing will survive beyond this point. – [Author’s description]

I feel like coining the term “CD-ROMpunk” to describe these trash-resplendent indie games aping the 90s multimedia aesthetic… were that contraction not so unseemly to my eyes.
Also the whole King’s Field feeling.
God I love this.
Citizen Kane of Piss.
highly disturbing
I think I got the bad ending but it’s kinda neat how they just leave you there to see the consequences of your actions rather than just immediately ending the game.
Hey I downloaded the Mac version but I cant unzip it.. what is the password? โ
I just received this on CD! The most important physical artifact known to earth?
Yes, but only after 1000 gallons of piss.
wonderful
that hypercapitalist revolting trashy 90s multimedia aesthetic is fucking fantastic and i love that it’s gaining momentum now, thank you lilith and related entities, thank you thank you. i will play game now.
Getting a *strong* Goblet Grotto vibe out of this. Seems more involved than I expected, I’ll be returning to it for sure.
Does the game… end after you fall through the green acid? ๐
my favorite game to show people and say “these are the video games that i play”.
Wasn’t expecting this to be so long when I booted it up today, but now around 4 hours later I’ve seen all the endings ๐ Excellent game, thanks for the infinite combo!
