Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“CRYO is in an unfinished and incomplete state. As we develop and release new features for the game, we require player feedback and analytics, to help us continue to build a product that players want. Early Access allows players to buy into an incomplete version of the game and help shape development as we push towards release. We had a lot of success with early access helping shape our previous title, Labyrinthine and we're hoping to achieve the same for CRYO.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“CRYO will remain in Early Access until we determine the game is fully prepared for official release. Our plans for the Early Access period include expanding the game's core foundation by introducing multiple maps and a variety of monsters. During this phase, we are committed to addressing any major bugs, resolving issues, and thoroughly balancing the gameplay to ensure a high-quality experience. We expect to have the game ready for full release within a year of early access. This would put it roughly at Q4 of 2025.”

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

“During Early Access, CRYO will not feature all planned content. While the core features listed in the 'About This' section of the store page will be present, some may be incomplete. For instance, there may be fewer maps, monsters, and equipment compared to the full release. Certain features such as achievements, easter eggs, and collectibles may also be absent in the Early Access version. As we continue development, we aim to use player feedback to refine systems, introduce new features, and adjust gameplay. By purchasing the Early Access version, you are investing in a work-in-progress that is subject to change based on player input. The full release is planned to offer a more definitive experience, with fewer dramatic changes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“CRYO is fully playable but currently in an incomplete state. You may encounter bugs that could affect gameplay, as large-scale testing has not yet been conducted. All core features listed on the store page are present in the game, but some may be refined as development progresses.

Right now, we have a single map with another in development, two enemies with their own ai and a plethora of items from music players to motion detectors.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Pricing for CRYO is expected to increase as we release additional content. However, our goal is to ensure the game remains affordable, offering players a cost-effective and memorable experience.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“At Valko Game Studios, we have a strong track record of being highly engaged with our community, and we plan to continue this approach. We are committed to providing everyone with the opportunity to share their feedback and ideas with us at any time. Our goal is to create games that people truly enjoy. You can join our public discord at https://discord.gg/valkogamestudios to chat with us and other members of the community or use the steam discussion boards.”

About This Game

What is this game?

CRYO is a cooperative horror game that combines various horror elements, seen in many beloved horror titles, into a brand new experience set in the harsh landscape of Antarctica.

In CRYO, you and your team are technicians, sent to various locations within the antarctic circle at the behest of the powerful genetics company, ANGENEX. But these aren’t your run of the mill inspections. Communication has stopped and now, something sinister awaits. The cold is the least of your worries as terrifying, mutated abominations stalk the halls, hunting your every move. You’ll need to work together, strategize, and use your wits to survive and escape. Every decision matters, and every second counts in this high-stakes, cooperative horror experience. Will you make it out alive, or become just another frozen experiment? The choice is yours.

Features

  • AI. Monsters in CRYO are driven by a complex AI system that will use various sensory and environmental cues to help it hunt.

  • Multiple Monsters. Each game, a new monster is selected at random. Monsters behave differently to one another, some rely on brute force where as others will utilise the environment to sneak around.

  • Procedural item placement. Items are placed around the map each round in various logical locations. They can be hidden in cupboards and drawers, on desks or even behind locked doors.

  • Environmental Hazards. The antarctic is an unforgiving landscape. Players will need to plan ahead if they wish to succeed.

  • Escape Routes. Should you wish to succeed, you will need to find a way out. There are multiple options of escape each map, however, many will have limited spaces...

  • Difficulty. CRYO has multiple difficulty options that scale both the scarceness of items but also increase the intelligence of the AI. Teamwork and quick thinking will serve you well.

  • Collectibles and Achievements. CRYO will feature various cosmetics to unlock and achievements to be earned.

  • Co-op at heart. While playable solo, teamwork will make your life easy. Everything is designed with cooperative play in mind.
