About this game
Description
Supplied by the Steam store
Play as a photographer who’s been hired by a mysterious cryptozoologist, Dr. Ted Krupp, to photograph cryptids for his research report, the Cryptid-Nomicon. Head out into the woods to lure out and take photos of creatures like The Loch Ness Monster, The Loveland Frogman, Bigfoot, and more in this short, light hearted photography adventure.
Interact with Cryptids
Move freely through the woods and interact directly with cryptids to elicit interesting behaviors and get cool poses for your photos. Move quietly to catch them sleeping, feed them to catch them eating, or even throw objects at them to catch them off balance. Be careful not to get too close!
Take the Best Photos
Return to Ted with your best photos for review, and try to beat the score of your previous photos. Photos are graded based on position in the frame, distance from the camera, direction of the cryptid, and visibility of the cryptid. You can also get bonus points for interesting poses or multiple cryptids in the shot.
Further the field of Cryptozoology
Unlock entries in Dr Ted’s guide, the Cryptid-Nomicon, and fill them with your favorite photos to learn more about the legends surrounding the cryptids you uncover. Learn real life trivia about fan favorites like the Flatwoods Monster, Bigfoot, Tsuchinoko, and more!
Talk to Ted
Hang out between photography sessions at the cozy cabin lab and get to know Ted, who has over 5 lines of unique dialogue.
This is a short, easy to pick up game featuring 8 cryptids for you to find and photograph.
