The Labyrinth of Cryptycial
The Labyrinth of Cryptycial is a roguelike bullet hell game set in the puzzling dungeon of an astral-plane demon. Skilled adventurers undertake Cryptycial’s deadly trials in hopes of having their “ultimate wish” granted. Follow the journey of an aspiring warlock, a noble druid, or a cursed rogue. Will they overcome the odds or become another pawn for the demon’s prison?
The Labyrinth of Cryptycial was a group video game project I worked on for my Video Game Theories and History course at WSU in Fall 2022. Our playable demo is not public nor available for view.
I was the group’s writer and concept artist, responsible for concocting the game’s story, in-game text, and supplementary material. I also wrote and organized the bulk of our game design document.
Below is the mock game manual I made, inspired by the lore-ridden manuals of early video games. All of the manual's art was drawn by me, except for the pixel sprite on page 3. The names of my teammates and their contributions are included.
