Our take on Kharon's Crypt - Even Death May Die
The store copy foregrounds puzzles, lore, secrets, and accessibility, while the central progression system is enemy possession. Much of the practical play loop therefore depends on learning which bodies provide movement, combat, traversal, or concealment abilities.
What is Kharon's Crypt - Even Death May Die?
Play as Kharon, a being associated with death, after a deranged king seals him inside a crypt.
Explore a metroidvania-style dungeon filled with puzzles, riddles, secrets, side quests, items, and more than 11 boss fights. Kharon can fly, pass through solid objects, and stun enemies, but progression also depends on possessing defeated creatures. Each possessed body grants different abilities: a bat can fly, a skeleton can open locks, and a mimic can help Kharon hide. The game uses pixel-art visuals modeled after Game Boy Color aesthetics. Collect nearly 100 Necronomicon pages containing lore, and play with design considerations for protanopia, deuteranopia, and tritanopia.
