Welcome to Krypta

What is Krypta?

Krypta is an interactive logic-puzzle based game which tests your

foresight and logic skills against objectives in a fun sandbox environment.

The Story

You are Magnus Venture, a young, avid explorer with a great allure for

treasure and all things antiquity.

You’re at the rumoured location of a fabled temple in the Great Desert

that has yet to been unearthed and ransacked of all its possessions. While

scouting the area for signs of the ruins you find yourself slipping through

the dunes down into the depths of the legendary Krypta dungeon – the

fabled temple of the Gods.

Delve deep into the Krypta dungeon and forage in forbidden and

forgotten territory to quench your lust for treasure and riches – but beware

of the many traps and enemies that hide and lurk inside. The deeper you

delve the more perilous your journey becomes. It’s up to your deductive

thinking and puzzle solving abilities to ensure you obtain treasures but

more importantly find an escape and stay alive!

The Objective

The objective of the game is for the player to collect treasure, avoid

enemies and solve logic puzzles in order to reach the end of each floor in

the shortest amount of time – with each floor becoming more increasingly

challenging.

explorer to acquire treasure and riches. Guide

Magnus around the Krypta dungeon to collect

gold, avoid enemies and reach the end of each

level.

dungeon, each with their own style of attack and methods to

hunt you down.

Mummies

adventurer’s that once attempted to best the

Krypta dungeon. They’re doomed to forever roam

mindlessly and will attack and kill anyone who

threatens to steal their treasure.

Characters and Enemies

Snakes

Snakes have taken up residence throughout

the dungeon nesting in chests, pots and

behind doors. The snakes are venomous and

cause a host of status ailments and non-

lethal effects that hinder your progress. He

only way to stop the encumbrance of

venom is to find the anti-venom along the

dungeon path.

Scarabs

Scarab beetles are quick and agile and can be

quite deadly if you’re not careful. Scarab

beetles will set off traps and can steal your

gold and keys if they touch you when they

fly past. They also produce noise that will

alert any more enemies that are nearby.

Make sure to step on them to kill them and get

your loot back!

Tools

At the beginning of each map the player will have the choice of

five tools. A player must only carry two tools to be allowed to

enter the map. Each tool provides an advantage or interaction

with the environment. The tools that are available are:

Bird

The bird tool acts as a deployable scout with a

time limit on flight. It can ignore floor based

traps but can’t avoid combat, gas or ranged

traps. The bird can also make noise to attract

the attention of enemies within proximity.

Boots

Boots increase the speed of the player making

it easier to evade obstacles and decreases the

sound emitted by the characters movements.

They can act favourably with game elements

such as breakable tiles lasting twice as long.

Shield

The shield is a defensive combat tool that

safeguards against one lethal attack from an

enemy and is then destroyed, acting as a life

line for the player.

Tools

At the beginning of each map the player will have the choice of

five tools. A player must only carry two tools to be allowed to

enter the map. Each tool provides an advantage or interaction

with the environment. The tools that are available are:

Sword

This weapon gives you a form of direct offense.

It can be used to kill enemies from a distance.

If attacking the enemy from behind, it will be a

100% kill rate however if the attacked head on

it will be a 50/50 chance.

Torch

The torch increases the radius of sight of the

playable character while also increasing the

line of sight of enemies. It can reveal elements

that can be seen in natural light i.e. treasure.

The torch also interacts with specific properties

such as spider webs and gas.

11

Traps

Bear Traps

The deadly teeth an ancient bear trap await

those who wander the dungeon carelessly.

Cracked Tiles

Watch your step! Some dungeon tiles have

weakened over the decades. Be sure not to

fall through the floor down into the depths of

the dungeon.

Floor Spikes

Pressure triggered floor spikes litter the

dungeon. Not only will these cause bleeding

damage over time, but they will slow you down

for a period of time.

Fake Chests and Baskets

Fake chests and baskets are employed to take

advantage of the greedy nature of wayward

treasure hunters. Status ailments such as poison,

confusion and lower visibility will plague the user

– but is the risk worth the reward?
