• Celebrating 10 Years of Akupara Games - 20 August 2026

  Hey tortured souls,Akupara Games is having a little birthday party to celebrate 10 years next month. I don’t understand celebrating birthdays when I’m thousands of years old but whatever.They are having an Akupara Direct and a livestream where they will be sharing games and I was thinking about dropping by and making an appearance. I wonder if I can convince any of their other games for a “tour” of my underworld. I’ll send my minions to send an invitation. Can’t trust any of the rats with any of the news that they are announcing during that Direct. They will be streaming on the Akupara Games Twitch channel on September 6th, 12pm PST/ 3pm EST. I’ll allow internet service for that stream and that stream only. No calling for help in my dungeon. -The Cryptmaster

• Dramatic dungeon crawler Cryptmaster celebrates anniversary with a hefty upgrade - 30 May 2025

  One year after it first launched, dungeon crawler and word puzzler Cryptmaster has been given a special anniversary present. The bold RPG won my heart in 2024 with a similar confidence in its silliness to that of this year's Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and deploying unique exploration and battle mechanics that bring typing, logic, and strategy together in glorious harmony. It won't suit everyone, but its 95%-positive Steam rating shows that, if it clicks for you, there's a lot to love. Now, developers Paul Hart and Lee Williams have deployed a big celebratory overhaul, giving me one more reason to convince you to try it. Read the rest of the story...

• Anniversary Update - 29 May 2025

  Hey doomed souls, It has been a bit since I’ve had the unfortunate and undesirable moment to talk with you. Yes, I liked it better when you were trapped in my crypts, screaming trying to get out. The good news is: there will be more of that in the future! My dungeon will be getting an expansion. My developer minions have been toiling their poor souls to death trying to get me to free them. They have updated and expanded on the irresistible card game of Whatever, in which I am undefeated. Anyone that tells you otherwise is lying and will be dealt with promptly. Now, my thrall will explain how to play and what is new in the taverns. Hello, it is the Cryptmaster's favorite minion! One day they will remember my name! Whatever, as some of you may know, is the premiere card-word game down in the underworld. Please don’t tell the people in the overworld or they might try to monetize it and tur…

• Bone-Dry British Wit Bundle! - 28 February 2025

  Hey Doomed Souls, My minions have finally come up with a way to attract more souls to my dungeon. Last time they tried to say a giant water park would bring in more souls, can you believe that? The minions teamed up with Tequila Works and Suspicious Developments to bring the Bone-Dry British Wit Bundle! Aha yes, I don’t think you can get more evil and dark than being British. Ehm let me read the bundle description. Whether it’s the CRYPTMASTER nagging- Nagging? Who wrote this? How dare they. I will find out who wrote this and banish you from break time. you to suck the soul from this innocent husk, the guests at THE SEXY BRUTALE’S masquerade horrendously murdering one another, or the clever thinking that goes into stealing secrets in GUNPOINT, dry, British humor really just hits different in this bundle! You can join my dungeon and enjoy these guests all together for 15% off. Get more s…

• Nominate Cryptmaster for Innovative Gameplay - 27 November 2024

  Hey doomed souls, The Steam Award nominations start now and apparently my crypts do not automatically win for Innovative Gameplay. I need votes from the poor souls that went through my dungeon to even be looked at. Don’t they know who I am? I am the one and powerful Cryptmaster! I can create votes by raising the dead but let me try this marketing thing and try to play “fairly.” Vote for my crypts for Innovative Gameplay or I will send the next ghouls I raise from the dead to your house and drag down your soul. Seems like a fair trade to me. - The Cryptmaster

• Cryptmaster shoulder rider reveal - 25 November 2024

  Hey doomed souls, My marketing minions have done a disservice to me and partnered with Youtooz to turn me into a marketable shoulder rider plushie which is releasing on December 6th. How dare they! I will send them to the barrier to disintegrate them myself for doing that to me. I am that master of the underworld meant to be scary and to be feared. To guide clueless souls through my dungeon, not some cute guide to sit on your shoulder. Apparently my minions said that they believe it will increase your spelling capabilities once you put them on. Can you believe that? Here is the link if you are soooo curious. https://youtooz.com/products/cryptmaster-shoulder-rider-6-inch I won’t smite you for getting these on December 6th, but I will look at you disapprovingly like I always have while guiding you through my crypts. - The Cryptmaster
