What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Crystant features gameplay design that differs from conventional titles, which is why we rely on extensive player experience and feedback. By broadly collecting player input, we will continue to refine game balance, optimize and introduce features that enhance the overall experience, and identify potential issues early to ensure the game develops in the right direction.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect that several more months will be required for overall optimization and content expansion. The actual timeline will be dynamically adjusted based on player feedback and overall experience evaluations. Once the game’s content and quality meet our established standards and final preparations are complete, the full release will be launched, and we will continue to invest in ongoing updates and optimizations to ensure a stable and high-quality gameplay experience.”

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

“Future development will focus on enhancing overall content richness and improving game balance. This represents our current direction; however, actual content will continue to be adjusted based on development progress and player feedback. If more promising or engaging ideas emerge during this period, we will prioritize incorporating them into Early Access updates or include them as new content in the full release, offering players more surprises.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Please refer to the “About This Game” section below for details.”

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

“Yes, the price of the full release will differ from that of the Early Access version. As the game is further refined and officially launched, the price will be adjusted accordingly. We will also continue to participate in Steam seasonal sales, allowing more players to join this trial and challenge at the right time.”

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

“We will regularly publish update notes and developer updates to keep players informed of all adjustments and their direction. We will also continue to monitor community discussions and bug reports, and evaluate and improve system design, balance, and gameplay direction. Players are welcome to engage, report issues, or provide suggestions via platforms such as Steam, X, Bluesky, and Facebook, ensuring that player feedback is effectively translated into future improvements and updates.”

About This Game

Introduction

You wake up from a sudden quake, reminded of your current predicament—locked away in a windowless laboratory.
Suddenly, the door opens. Blinding white light floods in, revealing a long corridor leading into the unknown. Flickering lights shimmer in the distance.

Deep Strategic Escape in a Solo Board Game Experience

  • Resource Management & Map Exploration: With resources in short supply, every decision matters—from unlocking key functions to allocating weapon supplies. Every choice you make can reshape your chances of survival.

  • Procedurally Generated Underground Maze: Every run presents an entirely new situation! Reveal unknown sections of the map and face random events, unexpected threats, and resource crises.

  • A Psychological Trial of Solitude: Trapped in this sealed underground world, your only reliance is your strategy and tactics.

Key Features

Choose your chance—or your fate.

Face a world filled with unknown encounters.

Classes & Signature Weapons

Equip each class with its corresponding signature weapon to unlock their full potential.

Scavenging & Resource Management

Resources are scarce, and every expedition is fraught with danger. Each search could bring a turning point—or a crisis.

You must make critical decisions with limited supplies to ensure you survive long enough to reach the next level.

Tactical Turn-Based Combat

Combat is built around a board-game-style relative positioning system. You must carefully assess attack positions while reading enemy behavior patterns and timing your movements to evade their attacks and abilities.

Enemy Enhancements

Enemy attributes can be enhanced in five different ways: Attack, Defense, Speed, Health, and All Attributes.

These enhancements make even familiar enemies unpredictable, increasing the challenge and forcing players to adapt their strategies.

Powerful Threats

Deeper areas are home to even more formidable enemies, armed with deadlier attacks and unique abilities.

Proceed with caution. Only by making the most of your resources and strategy can you survive.

Combat Styles

Upgrade four core attributes to strengthen your team and build the combat squad that best suits your playstyle.

Room Functions

Scattered throughout the map are mysterious rooms with unique functions, waiting for you to uncover their secrets and discover the unexpected surprises hidden within.

For example, in the Rest Area, you can use Recover to restore your HP. Or, in the Monitoring Room, use the Monitor function to activate the system and quickly reveal the map.

Other Features

  • Special Points: Earn special points through gameplay to unlock new classes and enhance passive abilities.

  • Roguelite Progression: Permanent progression and meta upgrades. Experience and in-game currency earned during each run carry over, making your next attempt easier.

  • Collectibles: Collect files and piece together the truth. Scattered throughout the underground laboratory are research reports and fragmented documents that reveal the full story buried beneath the surface.
