Crypterion Releases on Steam Today

Join our small crew as we complete the development of Crypterion. If you are looking for a game that takes you on an adventure to build you're business empire in a fantastical sci fi universe, you may be at the right place.

What is Crypterion about?:

A Tycoon
- Explore 5 planets unlocked for the business savvy
- Buy quality art pieces for your personal gallery, some made by players.
- Buy/sell goods, passengers, purchase stocks. Earn money several ways, or lose it all.
- A small mix of cards for the encounter deck. *More cards added frequently
- Run a small business and build equipment like a jukebox, phone, or dance floor.
- Attend auctions and purchase one-time items
- Go into debt and be forced to work it off... literally.
- Purchase items from all planet stores
- See your wealth and power grow in the "Treasury" and "Time Room"
- Upgrade your ship and see marks of your scars and wounds
- Invest in the stock market to get really rich!
- Unlock a space station bringing with it several areas to explore

A Visual Novel / Story Based Adventure
- Meet 25+ characters including potential crew-mates and companions
- Follow a story to discover powerful artifacts and the truth about an ancient civilization
- Attend several T.V. shows to become famous.
