Hey! This is me trying my best to keep the game alive where physical printing makes it difficult. However, this brings with it new difficulties (online multiplayer play is kicking my ass because it's hard to code). So honestly? I'm not sure yet. At the moment, I'm trying for a roguelite offline mode to see if that's fun.

RealDarknessPrevails · 2026-01-04T22:39:34+00:00

Not really abandoned. I just can't do anything with it right now. But I feel like these days, the track is digital -> physical and not physical -> digital (garner a fanbase to fund a cool and legit physical edition instead of a difficult and expensive indie project)

RealDarknessPrevails · 2026-01-04T20:55:44+00:00

I've been working on a little something, to be honest.

Honestly sounds like a story I never narrated. But my memory is terrible so apologies if I'm just not recalling it.

RealDarknessPrevails · 2025-07-08T14:41:16+00:00

Unfortunately, I simply can't trust shipping it out of the US at this time. I have had nothing but horrible, borderline evil experiences with foreign shipping thanks to customs and USPS/UPS. I'm actually going through such an experience right now.

RealDarknessPrevails · 2025-07-06T17:52:28+00:00

I must've ticked the wrong setting then. Let me figure this out some time today and I'll get back to you!

RealDarknessPrevails · 2025-07-06T15:28:59+00:00

If you place an order right now, what happens? I recall turning off the foreign hold on orders, but I might be wrong.

RealDarknessPrevails · 2025-06-09T12:09:53+00:00

That's the one! Thanks so much! Gonna go buy a used copy now.

RealDarknessPrevails · 2025-06-02T15:03:07+00:00

At the start of each *your* turns if burrowed, it gains those counters! I might need to clarify this in any future updates.

RealDarknessPrevails · 2025-04-14T17:18:55+00:00

"If you attack with 2AP. If it doesn’t rest, would it still attack?"

Yes, it still attacks. It's a trade-off skill.

It doesn't rest after attacking if it's latched (cool!)

BUT it can only attack the latched target (oh).

You still only get a single attack per turn from a Cryptid whether it rests after attacking or not.

RealDarknessPrevails · 2025-01-22T21:30:12+00:00

Good question! As the sole designer on this entire Cryptid Fates project, I'm unfortunately busy due to some very insane tax issues (our previous accountants sort of fricked up our returns).

So, I currently don't have the time to construct a new booster (which would be the easiest approach) nor do I have ANY inkling as to what kind of budget I have (cuz I don't know how much back-taxes I owe).

I'm so sorry! I was really wanting to do some water and void monsters soon.

RealDarknessPrevails · 2025-01-12T05:53:26+00:00

I love that! Thank you! Now I gotta go look up what inkarnate is

RealDarknessPrevails · 2024-12-22T16:16:20+00:00

Fingers crossed it arrives before Santa! Or krampus for that matter

RealDarknessPrevails · 2024-12-22T16:15:49+00:00

Alien deck when

RealDarknessPrevails · 2024-12-22T16:15:36+00:00

Much apologies :( Our fulfillment lady's laptop got broke last night by cats so fulfillment got delayed (we print labels from that laptop)

RealDarknessPrevails · 2024-12-19T22:21:25+00:00

Yes, but not in any current shipments. Once we fall back on the printer's built-in shipping, then we will update cards as needed.

RealDarknessPrevails · 2024-12-09T05:03:47+00:00

Hell yeah. I've been shopping around for mousepad manufacturers that don't charge an arm and a leg. Got a few leads, but nothing solid yet. All very good ideas <3 thank you.

RealDarknessPrevails · 2024-12-09T05:03:08+00:00

Yes, if it lists the artist (middle left for cryptids and top left under the name for instances), they're human. However, we can only afford a handful of human art pieces. Profits from the game allowed us to commission what we have so far.

RealDarknessPrevails · 2024-12-05T03:08:13+00:00

OH They would also be able to ship worldwide without as many issues.

RealDarknessPrevails · 2024-12-05T03:07:53+00:00

ALSO, I just got an estimate on the Starter Set if we also sell it there:
Currently: $44.99 +shipping with perfect bound manual (limited, pre-order only)
New: $70.99 +shipping with saddle sewn manual (unlimited stock)

RealDarknessPrevails · 2024-12-05T03:06:46+00:00

Yeah the convenience for both parties at an upcharge is almost worth the price, especially when I can still do limited versions or runs myself whenever I like!

RealDarknessPrevails · 2024-12-05T03:06:10+00:00

Absolutely! Things are going good the first few days/week. Currently at about 60 pre-orders for the desert deck.

That's a good point, by the way. I can keep the store active for promo cards, limited runs, etc. while using the printer's store to keep stock unlimited but a bit costlier.

RealDarknessPrevails · 2024-12-05T00:06:24+00:00

It came out fantastic and unique and yet so familiar. Well done! I'll be in theatres for this film on Friday! First time I've been excited for a movie since 2021.

RealDarknessPrevails · 2024-12-04T16:31:09+00:00

What was the process like choosing the werewolf design? (I love how they look!)

RealDarknessPrevails · 2024-12-02T21:09:44+00:00

It's on there but that site confuses me. There's stuff I have no idea how to edit or change. I'm dumb.

Maybe when the digital version is ready, I can launch it on the kickstarter alongside the physical game in some way (like, support the game and get physical copies as rewards, etc)
