Crypterion

Rimshot. A system where everything is possible, thanks to the Iclantian Comets, relics of a past civilization. Their discovery attracted millions of colonists, opportunists, thrill seekers, scholars and more, all trying to gain wealth and power. You are one of them, seeking your fortune, whatever it may be. Do it right and you might become an emperor. Fail and you might just find out what a debtor's prison looks like.

Crypterion is a new approach to visual novels, mixing open-world adventuring with a complex plot where every choice matters and no two playthroughs will ever be the same.  Start by defining your character, navigate down a myriad of branching paths, and become the most powerful person in Rimshot.

That is, unless you slip and lose everything.

• Unique blend of visual novels, point-and-click adventures, and open-world exploration, with open-ended gameplay allowing you to decide which way to rise to the top.

• Over two hundred choices branching the plot into multiple non-overlapping story arcs, fleshed out by a script totaling over 200,000 words.

• Customizable main character with selectable preferences, dislikes, and more, which the game will react to - and more changes occur as you progress through the game.

• Explore 6 unique planets of the Rimshot system, seeking a path to riches and power. Build a business, look for spoils, become a TV celebrity - and more!

• Failure is not an option: When your character stumbles, some paths close, others open - even if these lead to places where you have to work off your debt... Or launch a daring escape.

Interact with nearly 40 distinct characters, including eleven unique crewmates. A Saboteur, Genius, Stowaway, Mechanic, Security Officer, Informant, Cook, Doctor, Pilot, Guardian, and Secret Agent. Build relations, forge lasting friendships, and even entertain marriage proposals.
