About
CRYO is a cooperative horror game that combines various horror elements seen in many beloved horror titles, into a brand new experience set in the harsh landscape of Antarctica. 
In CRYO, you and your team are technicians, sent to various locations within the antarctic circle at the behest of the powerful genetics company, ANGENEX. But these aren’t your run of the mill inspections. Communication has stopped and now, something sinister awaits. The cold is the least of your worries as terrifying, mutated abominations stalk the halls, hunting your every move. You’ll need to work together, strategize, and use your wits to survive and escape. Every decision matters, and every second counts in this high-stakes, cooperative horror experience. Will you make it out alive, or become just another frozen experiment? The choice is yours.
AI. Monsters in CRYO are driven by a complex AI system that will use various sensory and environmental cues to help it hunt.
Stealth. Use lockers and crouching to sneak around to avoid being detected.
Multiple Monsters. Each game, a new monster is selected at random. Monsters behave differently to one another, some rely on brute force where as others will utilise the environment to sneak around.
Objectives. You must complete your primary objectives on a map, this can involve puzzles and finding items. These objectives randomise each time so you may have to visit new areas each time you play.
Procedural item placement. Items are placed around the map each round in various logical locations. They can be hidden in cupboards and drawers, on desks or even behind locked doors.
Environmental Hazards. The antarctic is an unforgiving landscape. Players will need to plan ahead if they wish to succeed.
Escape Routes. Should you wish to succeed, you will need to find a way out. There are multiple options of escape each map, however, many will have limited spaces...
Difficulty. CRYO has multiple difficulty options that scale both the scarceness of items but also increase the intelligence of the AI. Teamwork and quick thinking will serve you well.
Co-op at heart. While playable solo, teamwork will make your life easy. Everything is designed with cooperative play in mind. Play with 1-4 players per lobby!
Tools. Various tools are available in CRYO, from music players and cameras to motion detectors. How you choose to use them is up to you.

the dog mimicked my friend singing we are charlie kirk and genuinely tricked me into thinking it was my friend, then when i realised it was the dog it became the single scariest thing ive ever witnessed
Learning that this game came from the same team that had developed Labyrinthine was a surprise. I had no idea they made another game until I had seen the not so subtle references to it in game. Despite that, this new IP they put out fits the bill for a good online co-op horror game. This game is both fun and difficult (especially your first couple times). The horror aspect pulls through really well, to the point that I find my hairs standing on edge. Audible character breathing and heartbeat sound effects whenever your in imminent danger lend more to the feel of actually being trapped in an isolated facility trying to avoid a looming threat. While I do recommend playing this game, I do not recommend it as it is now. There currently is only one level available with the main difference being that one of three monsters has a chance to show up. Granted, it is in early access, and the developers do have a Trello board highlighting what's to come and what is currently being worked on. If you do intend on buying it, then do so at a discounted price. There just is not enough content to justify the current $15 price tag in my current opinion.
#bringbacktheunlimitedglowsticks i really loved labyrinthe, so had high hopes for this game aswell! although i have a feeling that this game lacks a bit of some personality...
ambiance au top ( même si possiblement améliorable ), monstre sympa et tous très différents. Plutôt jolie et dix fois mieux que son concurrent '' panicore ''. deux trois p'tit bug par si par la mais cela serai de la mauvaise foie de dire que cela nui vraiment ( en 3h un seul bug de collision en plus c est quand j'étais mort ) franchement je conseil et j attends la suite avec impatience.
[h1] 10/10 [/h1] [h2] [i] Frostbite Is the Least of Your Worries [/i] [/h2] CRYO is easily one of the most engaging horror games I’ve played, perfectly capturing that suffocating, The Thing-esque atmosphere. The game is incredibly polished, featuring environmental design that truly sells the isolation of the setting. What keeps me coming back is the brilliant unpredictability; between the randomized item spawns and the way the game dynamically blocks your usual routes, you are forced to adapt and constantly find new strategies to survive. The level of depth is impressive, I’ve managed to beat it solo on Hell difficulty, and it remains consistently tense every single time. I am genuinely excited to see what the developers have in store regarding the upcoming maps, creatures, and unique objectives. Whether you’re braving the cold alone or teaming up with a squad, CRYO is a must-play. With support for up to eight players, it offers a fantastic cooperative experience that I highly recommend.
Another Steam reviewer summarized this game really well, and I'd fully agree. Solid game so far. Monstrum, but multiplayer. The current monsters are fun even if one of them is easier to handle. Had a good amount of actual screams because of good jumpscares (stalker in particular has REALLY good AI). I highly recommend taking the time to learn the monsters rather than just being focused on doing things to get out as soon as possible. It's a tense fight between you and it. ...Also had some really nasty RNG where we couldn't find a key item... but that just reminded me more of Monstrum, honestly. If you've played Labrynthine from the same developers, then let me also just mention: this game is a HUGE improvement from that. So much more QOL, polish, atmosphere, and generally just better gameplay loop. Looking forward to updates! (Devs, please deliver)
As of this review, I have 11 hours in the game and have unlocked 10 achievements thus far. I am a fan of Labyrinthine so going into this game, I had that in the back of my mind. This game is still EARLY ACCESS. With that being said, it is a great game. There are bugs just like lots of early access games but nothing you can't work around. The monsters are scary. You have different escape options and so much to do. It can be a little complex at times but I personally like that. ANOTHER PRO - Join the discord. The team behind Valko Game Studios amazing and love feedback. I had one of them pop into my stream to ask what me and my friends thought and if we have had an issues. I can't wait to see what they add in!
Hiding in vents just to find out the guy can crawl in them. Would recommend 10/10
Great Co-Op experience, even for people new to games like this. I played their other game first when it originally came out so I was a little better than most of my friends. Only one map currently but I have high hopes for the game. Be on the look out for Penguins!
HELL YEAH
