Tactical Solo Roll-and-Write
Designed for solo strategists and dungeon-delvers alike, Cryptborn offers a lean yet unforgiving roll-and-write experience. Every decision matters, every resource is scarce, plan poorly and your fate is sealed. Every death teaches you something new.
Souls-Like Difficulty
No handholding. No mercy. Just you, your wits, and the will to endure. Inspired by games like Darkest Dungeon and Dark Souls — Cryptborn is an unforgiving game where survival demands sacrifice and only the prepared endure.
How To Play
Customise Your Cryptborn
Every boss carries a prize worth the struggle: unique loot that can never be found again. Each relic reshapes your strengths and tactics, this unique loot earned from bosses lets you craft powerful builds ensuring no two runs feel the same.
Immersive Dungeon Crawler
Step into the crypt and lose yourself in over 30 hours of tense, replayable gameplay. Each run is a descent into atmospheric horror, filled with branching paths, resource management, and the ever-present threat of a final death.
Adventure, Anywhere
Cryptborn is built for those who roam. With an A4 wiro-bound format and no need for bulky components or a table full of miniatures, you can bring the dungeon with you; to the park, the pub, or your favourite reading nook. Just grab a pen, some dice, and descend.
