Unstable Games
Twisted Cryptids
It’s so hard to feel seen as a Cryptid these days. In this easy-to-learn strategy game, you’ll navigate your love-hate relationship with humans and outwit your fellow Cryptids to earn your status as a true legend. As hikers, hunters, and researchers scatter across the wilderness hoping to catch a glimpse of you, you’ll stage elaborate hoaxes, plant perfect decoys, and lurk discreetly in the shadows to build up your myth.
You might even expose your true self once in a while, but be warned: vulnerability can come at a price.

It's so hard to feel seen as a Cryptid these days. In this immersive strategy game, you'll navigate your love-hate relationship with humans and outwit your fellow Cryptids to earn your status as a true legend. As hunters, hikers, and researchers scatter across the wilderness hoping to catch a glimpse of you, you'll stage elaborate hoaxes, plant perfect decoys, and lurk discreetly in the shadows to build up your myth. You might even expose your true self once in a while, but be warned: vulnerability can come at a price. In Cryptid, players choose a Cryptid with unique powers and hiding spots and use Action cards to determine the effects if they are spotted. Players also get Hidden Trait cards with objectives that you’ll try to achieve by the end of the game in order to score bonus Myth. Once you have completed 5 rounds, flip over the remaining Sightings in your Stacks and your Hidden Trait before determining the winner of the game. The player with the greatest total Myth wins the game and is deemed the True Legend, while the others scurry home before the Humans catch them.
