Cryptid Crush

I've played chapter 0 and it's amazing. I'm planning on waiting for the game to fully release. This game is so underrated and not known so I hope in the future it will have a bigger fanbase! This game deserves it! :D

I found it somewhat interesting. I like the characters, the art, and the soundtrack. The design is very charming.

From what I've gathered from one blind playthrough and two fast-forwarded playthroughs where I chose different options, Cryptid Crush is a kinetic novel with just a faint fragrance of dating elements. You're given choices, but as far as I've seen, there isn't anything that has a significant impact on the story. Choosing a different option maybe gets you a new crumb of world building, but ultimately just leads to the same places.

In the existing content, character interaction also feels very heavily skewed towards Madhouse and August. Madhouse is attached to your phone so he's in almost every scene chiming in, and there's quite a lot of 1 on 1 scenes with him even if you completely ignore every interaction with him. August is the only one that you're given the explicit option to flirt with, and similarly, if you ignore every interaction with him you'll still get shoved into the same 1 on 1 scenes with him regardless. Neither really goes anywhere in the existing content.

For everyone else there's a few scenes of either meetings or friendly hangouts that are quick and shallow. One such meeting in Chapter 1 with Jamie at their day job just has a rough line-art placeholder still despite chapter 2 being released and chapter 1 having been out for almost three years. After the first run it's very apparent that attention has not been equally distributed between the characters.

-----------

Based on the past release frequency, unless the next two chapters really go hard on the dating elements it's probably going to be another 3-4 years minimum before there's any substance to this game as a dating sim.

Is the game still on development or it has been abandoned I checked patreon but it hasn't been updated since 2024 and here it says in development

i've finished the whole game last year during winter i love it 1000/1000 1000 stars

this is so cool

No words. Flawed me. As the first actual visual novel I've played? Its just perfect. Everything. Had to reply twice to see the content i missed dice rolls for.

لعبة جميله

yo i am eating

Oooooooooh

Love this game so much! The characters are so much fun

My only problem is the fact that the mobile version is kinda unplayable (had to switch to pc halfway through) it kept crashing and some save flies straight up wouldn't work 

I would recommend a toggle button for effects maybe? But other than that great game! I recommend people play the windows/Mac version other than the mobile version for the best experience 

i just played through this whole thing it's so good

Oh dear creator please return ee yearn for the update

Please update it🙏

i want the full vers so bad

pretty fire

Guys. Im weird... why would i want to do this and use it as my wallpaper?  

(Sorry if i did this [Nobody will care anyway... i think])

is this vn finished?

This game is so cutee💗

oz my love I miss you T^T

I LOVE this game, but I'm confused on the character creation bit =^= is there only one skin color allowed or am I missing something?

i LOVED THIS, i want to just bundel all the charchters up in one hand and squeeze them all, keep up the amazing work!

It'd be a better and more immersive experience if there was more to the character customization or the option to have a lack of a character representation all together like a typical visual novel type game.

ATLAS MY BELOVED

august my beloved :D

bro I’m so invested in this I love my furry babies (atlas, August and Oz) but I especially love our quirky radio ghost he’s so grumpy yet sweet at times i especially love his little tennis ball form it’s so cute and especially (spoilers ahead!) 

that scene where the MC cuddles him after that long boss battle 

If the story goes on, and they add a Route where one day August would bite the MC, Like from the kissing part of the game. Because i would go nuts and crazy

Love the game, only wished that I kissed the mothman instead of the werewolf :{ but either way, I'll take it

I am loving it so far! I just got it

every day i wait for a new update...💔

sigma shit yo

I'm currently having an issue trying to save my current file. Does anybody know how to fix this? (running on the mac version btw)

It says "Exception: not saved - no valid save locations" I tried looking at the related files but I'm not all that well-versed in troubleshooting in any coding language...
