About
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. 
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 120,000 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.

Fun game, interesting story/characters and worth the price. Game is stretched out on my Samsung Odyssey 32:9 monitor and I like missed the way to properly adjust but wasn't a huge deal.
- Капитан! Куда летим: на встречу с Императрицей, на поиски редкого Артефакта или спасать Галактику от Космических Тентаклей? - Держи курс на ****, там водичка на 120% поднялась в цене! *** - Капитан! Нас взяли на абордаж пираты! - Видит Мокси - я не виноват! Выпускайте Змейку! ... - Капитан, докладываю: все пираты без сознания - острая передозировка милотой! *** "Причина гибели галактики - Повар приготовил Космическую пиццу с перцем и мороженым из личных запасов Капитана" Личная оценка - 75 из 100 артефактов: сюжет, ивенты и головоломки - интеренсные, персонажи - разнообразные, графика - удовлетворительная/хорошая (Астра, ты меня пугаешь на станции!), музыка - нейтральная.
Buena mezcla de novela visual y juego de gestión. Tanto la historia como la gestión de recursos son relativamente simples aunque eso no lo hace disfrutable durante las 10 horas aproximadas de la historia principal. Además, si te gusta buscar secretos y desbloquear escenas secretas ocultas, el juego ofrece mucho contenido después de la historia principal.
Good game, an indie game that has Visual novel, business and romance.Took me about 15h to 100% achievement but there still some content and secret to find. The gameplay loop of trading is simple enough and even if you do travel to place where selling would make a loss, you won't loose too much since you can always just carry passenger to another planet. Crypto coin were mostly useless to me since each planet is a crypto coin and you had to be on the planet to sell or buy. There a good amount of people on the cast with each role and personality, they are likable and funny. Now for both of the Heroine, I like them a lot, both are woman that slowly warm up slowly to you and one that will gradually learn emotion, if you find that appealing you have a great time. It is a recommend from me.
I wanted to play a visual novel with an interesting plot. I got an economy simulator. At the beginning of the game, the hero bought the product and flew to the second planet to sell it. The ship was damaged and the money was withdrawn from the player, when I tried to take off from the second planet, for some reason the hero was fined and sent to the factory. A mini-game with microchips begun, you can't skip the mini-game and have to waste time on it. I lost interest and deleted the game. Disappointed with the purchase. I would add save/load the game and mini-games skip. Or a story mode without economics. It's unplayable right now, at least for me.
un visual novel avec de la gestion d'argent ? parfait pour moi une histoire très interessante, la partie gestion n'est pas difficile et participe à l'histoire, il y a pleins de petit secret a découvrir, certain assez dur le style graphique est très beau surtout celui des personnages le jeux vaux sont prix je trouve, et je le recommande au fan de VN qui n'ont pas peur d'un peut plus que juste lire
It was a good game, I would recommend it.
Its pretty good.
A truly rare and substantive peace. Something with true emergen in mind. 8/10 (so far)
[b]Première partie en Français, second part in English.[/b] 1) Après un Omni Link de très bonne facture, Roencia nous livre une fois de plus un titre prenant. Se déroulant dans le même univers qu'Omni Link, on a affaire ici à un roman visuel avec des touches de gestion. En plus de ses personnages attachants et disposant d'une direction artistique léchée, Crypterion est généreux en contenu. Après une première partie d'environ 10 heures, je n'ai découvert que la moitié de ce que le jeu a à nous offrir. 18/20: Encore une fois, les développeurs indépendants et studios de moindre taille nous prouvent que les jeux n'ont pas besoin de millions d'euros en développement/marketing pour être excellents. 2) After a very solid Omni Link, Roencia delivers once again a very captivating title. Set in the same universe as Omni Link, this is a visual novel with light management elements. In addition to its charming characters and polished art direction, Crypterion is generous in content. After a first playthrough of more or less 10 hours, I had only discovered about half of what the game has to offer. 18/20: Once again, indie developers and smaller studios prove that games don’t need millions in development or marketing to be excellent.
