What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Players are a part of the games T.V. show Face-To-Face hosted by Sunny. You submit questions that your favorite crew members will then answer. Players can submit art for in-game auctions, the gallery, or ship dashboard. Early Access is important for me as a sustaining element to continue development and increase momentum.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I'll keep a low early access price to account for the long development time. I plan to release the game 2024. (anticipate 2 more updates)”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Already in Early Access you can build up a small business, but that will be expanded. There is also a deep relationship system that only appears at the very end of the game. Crypterion is meant to have a gameplay loop of earning wealth and spending it and enjoying time with your NPC friends.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In it's current state, play the full main story! There is plenty to do afterwards too.

This is where your story begins...

Iclantia, a once-thriving civilization, was unable to prevent the catastrophic event that ultimately wiped out their society. Historians have revealed that in a desperate attempt to save their heritage, the Iclantians created Comets - time capsules made of rock and ice infused with advanced technology - and launched them into space. These pods contain the remnants of the Iclantians' powerful technology, including toys, art, weapons, and historical documents.

Players enter the Rimshot system, home to various alien species who have prospered since discovering the comets.

As the protagonist of your own story, Crypterion places you in the game as the main character, allowing you to customize more than just your hair and eye color. Your likes, dislikes, and any traumatic experiences that have shaped who you are today will be recognized by NPCs, who will respond accordingly. Similar to the character creation system in Conqueror A.D. 1086, we take a streamlined approach and ask a few questions. Crypterion also tracks any battle scars or physical changes to your appearance.
