I really enjoy the game!! It's very well made and the voice acting is perfect!!! However I would like to report that when I died the player's look and pronouns completely changed. Other than that I didn't come across anything that wasn't intentional (i think)
It's still in development, but very well made! The art, icons, music and VN+ttrpg gameplay feel so FRESH and amazing. The sprite movements are fluid and add to the usual VN reading process. I haven't encountered *any* bugs on PC version.
The only thing i -personally- had trouble with is the plot flow and some of the writing that felt a bit shallow (though i understand that the game has kinda silly setting and I shouldn't pick at it too much). The voice acting also felt a bit weird and exaggerated at times, but again - it's just comedic setting. And I think default BGM volume is too loud to hear some of the voices?
Other than my (apparently) personal beef with comedy - again, it's REALLY interesting project and I'll definitely will be checking out what comes next!
pero quería repórtate que alguien esta subiendo juegos ajenos entre esos el tuyo como suyo sin permiso( si buscas con la etiqueta furry seguro lo encontraras casi de inmediato)
How many battles are there in the game rn? The only real fight I ever fought was both Phases of Mike, and I beat it first try due to being an absolute god gamer (and 50% luck) so I didnt really get to do a lot of fighting, but that doesnt really matter to me cause the Story and the Cast are all amazing! Cant wait for Chapter 1.
Oooh neat! I've just beaten the harder version of him and it took 35 turns due to me rolling 2 1s thrice therefore basically killing Jamie with Recoil Damage xD
https://mrdavepizza.com/cryptid-crush-prologue-review/It's been ages, but this is still one of my favorite games of this genre--if there are any others! I especially appreciated the color theory of this game and just the illustration in general. I stayed up late to finish it and it was worth it (plus a bit spooky.) For what it's worth, this was my personal narrative that I wrote about experiencing this game. Thought I'd share. Best wishes.
First of all I wanna say is well done. I haven't played a visual novel like this in a while and have such a blast. Second I was wondering if we will be seeing a more consistent schedule; like where most vn have an update every one to two months, or will they be done when they're done. PS: I'm not saying you guys are taking too long or should rush. I was just asking what we should expect down the road.
I played it on android, i finished the game in 2 hours i think, the game was awesome! keep up the good work, i appreciate this masterpiece. im gonna be waiting for chapter 2!
i just finished this build and i can totally say, this is absolutley the best one, its not just fun but also REALLY well polished, i didn't even know you could do THAT on renpy, its insane but also refreshing to be out of the usual "VN style" the dice thing makes it really feel like a game, and dont get me started with the cast, everyone feels unique
also i love august.
(one thing: it lags a bit and i can't imagine running this on a low end phone, but for me it's understandable, as it is really content heavy, kudos to the team, i dont know how you managed to do all this)
All my friends and me loved this as I shared my screen in discord. We all made punches at each other for loving each and every character. I can't wait for more of this as it looks amazing, is incredibly funny, and is a great break from life when you need one!
Went into this last night expecting nothing cause I knew nothing about this project. Assumed wrongly that this is your standard FVN made for hornies.
Ended up having a stupid amount of fun. Finished it in one sitting and I laughed often and facepalmed while I chuckled even more. It's like a cartoon you used to like as a teen, but now as an adult you love it cause you finally understand the jokes.
The cast is so loveable, the story I am not buying at the moment but who cares cause I definitely want to see more.
The game is very poorly optimized on Android versions and will randomly crash during fights after playing at ~15 fps the entire time, making it a bit diffifcult to play, but otherwise was very, very good! There were also issues regarding save files after crashing, where your name would reset to the default and change your class randomly- I am not sure if this problem extends to any other version of the game other than Android. Other than these issues, the story elements are very well done, the new artwork for the backgrounds is good, the characters have a lot of personality, and overall was a positive experience! If the Android version were better optimized, I'd easily say it's one of the top #5 VNs I'e ever played.
I've only played for about 10 or 15 minutes as of writing this, and I. Am. GUSHING!! This game has so much charm-I can't wait to see it blow up. I've only run into like one bug so far, and some performance issues, but only because my device is ever so slightly outdated. Now-as for that bug, it's not even game-breaking. I input my name as Rook, and during gameplau I took some screenshots to show some friends, and when I had returned, my name had been changed to Robyn, which I assume is a default name of sorts. Like I said, not game-breaking, but it does kinds break the immersion. Still gonna enjoy the hell outta this game, and wait for updates as patiently as possible!
We can't seem to replicate the visual glitch, have you tried restarting the game? Did you do anything special to get to that point like the fast-forwarding?
It's possible that your Android version doesn't support the lighting effects we use throughout the game. We couldn't find any other information that might help as we couldn't replicate the bug ourselves
Impeccable dialogue and hilarious antics blend with an emotional core and some amazing character designs to create one of the most exciting demos of recent memory.
We discussed our opinions on this game in detail in our podcast. Check it out if ya want
This game is very cute! The art style is incredible, the voice acting is just as great, the story is phenomenal, and, for it being just a demo, I'd DEFINATELY enjoy every moment of a full game. Just in case, spoilers for the rest of the comment. Don't look until you played, since this is an amazing game!:
First heading into the game, Atlas was my immediate interest, because, well, moth boye. But the story and progression actually made me lean more into Madhouse Mike because of his lovable, nearly Beetlejuice-like voice and honestly hilarious personality. The boss fight with him was expertly made, and quite unexpected in a dating sim of all things! The "roll for effectivity" was also a neat mechanic, and again, unexpected in a dating sim! I'm relieved Mike didn't actually die, and the hugging scene melted my heart. I'm currently replaying it again just to find LITERALLY EVERYTHING LMAO.
A few minor issues/suggestions I'd make: That while selecting the He/Him pronouns, me trying to get into the game as a male character, the voice and character seemed a bit.. feminine for my liking? Of course, I'm not saying men can't be feminine! I would just like a little character selection, or if not (which I completely understand if not, that's a lot of work lmao), different sounding voice lines. They sort of threw me off and left me withdrawn from the experience. Again, the rolling of the dice mechanic Though I wish it was elaborated a little on how it worked since I was a tad confused at first. That's about it! Overall, an incredible experience and beautifully made game!
havent played it yet but im about to download it. looks super cool!!
So I've been playing it a little bit. I love it so far Atlas is definetly my favorite. personally (this is jsut me) i was confused by seeing the mc because I didn't realize that was supposed to be my character- NOT COMPLAINING about how they look I just would have expected a more...generic looking charater. idk if thats the right word. but still really cool, will definetly keep playing
The full game will probably not be free, but depending on Patron support and donations, we would like to keep it at the very least low cost, or ideally free if the support is there!
Searched about this problem and discovered its caused by the way the files are compiled and make it uncompatible with old android devices, so you can check a way to solve the bug here:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32327268/cannot-load-library-soinfo-relocate.. or just let a warning that it may be incompatiblewith old Android versions
i am genuinely so excited for the full game to come out!! the fact that the narrator broke the fourth wall when i quit the game and then came back right at the start was so exciting for me. the art and the voice acting were my favorite parts for sure. i also think that the sprites moving was really cool!

Just fininshed game
I'm relley loving it!
Hoping to see more chapter soon....

Just wanted to say I love the art, story, and characters so much, can't wait for more!
hola y perdón por mi idioma.
pero quería repórtate que alguien esta subiendo juegos ajenos entre esos el tuyo como suyo sin permiso( si buscas con la etiqueta furry seguro lo encontraras casi de inmediato)
¿Tienes el enlace a él? Parece que no puedo encontrarlo.
hola la persona que re-subio tu juego le bajaron el juego a las horas .
la gente últimamente le da 1 estrella y los reporta de inmediato al parecer itch últimamente esta actuando mas rápido en estos casos.
disculpa por alarmarte.
I love Mike 😭😭😭
Oh btw one bug I found was how when I saved and loaded the save, it changed my character to the basic one without customization
Mike reminds me of Alex Brightman's Beetlejuice!
How many battles are there in the game rn? The only real fight I ever fought was both Phases of Mike, and I beat it first try due to being an absolute god gamer (and 50% luck) so I didnt really get to do a lot of fighting, but that doesnt really matter to me cause the Story and the Cast are all amazing! Cant wait for Chapter 1.
If you reopen the game and press start, you can fight a harder version of madhouse right out the gate!
Also as a side note from a dev, reply with the turn count you get! Always love to see how far people can optimise each fight
Oooh neat! I've just beaten the harder version of him and it took 35 turns due to me rolling 2 1s thrice therefore basically killing Jamie with Recoil Damage xD
first time, I got 36, second try, 26
i just played this as much as possible and its a great game. it really blends the RPG elements with the VN elements greatly.

Very good. Still might be some bugs to work out, but immaculate vibes.
I played it on android, i finished the game in 2 hours i think, the game was awesome! keep up the good work, i appreciate this masterpiece. im gonna be waiting for chapter 2!
Is the game completed?
Cryptid Crush is still in development! This just includes the first chapter of content
I just played the demo on my phone and was blown away, can't imagine how much cooler this is going to get!!!
So.. if undertale was reliant on luck. Fun, I'm scared of Atlas.
That makes one of us

AAAAAAAAAAA? This is officially my favorite game ever??!!?
I'm absolutely IN for this!! Madhouse and August my beloveds--
This game was phenomenal to play, it was a great experience! I am looking forward to the next build!
All my friends and me loved this as I shared my screen in discord. We all made punches at each other for loving each and every character. I can't wait for more of this as it looks amazing, is incredibly funny, and is a great break from life when you need one!

I had pretty much the EXACT same experience

In Android, the background and sprites did'nt appear. Can you guys fix this?
We can't seem to replicate the visual glitch, have you tried restarting the game? Did you do anything special to get to that point like the fast-forwarding?
I unistalled and install it again like 3 times. And, no. I'm on Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop)
It's possible that your Android version doesn't support the lighting effects we use throughout the game. We couldn't find any other information that might help as we couldn't replicate the bug ourselves
Nice art 👏
i'd prob get it soon! just cause the fluffy bug lookin character looks cure idk why, they just do!
