Crystal of Death (AppID: 3988830)

You Have One Night

It’s 22:00. Until dawn, you will both stay alive and finish “the job.”
On the edge of the city, dangers press into a three-room house. The ones waiting outside are impatient. The ones inside, drawn by the smell, are worse. Everything is compressed into a single night.

Story

In the early 2000s, you were a regular chemistry professor when you were abducted.
This house is your new life: kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom.
The night starts at 22:00 and ends near sunrise… or ends you.

The objective isn’t simple, but it’s clear: survive and complete the production.

Crystal (Production Loop)

• Stage by stage: Use the kitchen equipment to produce. Every step takes time, space, and generates sound/smell.

• Risk vs. reward: Rush and your error rate spikes. Go slow and the night catches up to you.

• Disaster chance: A wrong move can blow the mixture to pieces. Wear the mask, follow the order.

• Resource management: Generator fuel, fuses, door locks, shutters… each one can shorten or prolong the night.

Don’t Die (Hide, Listen, Stay Quiet)

This house isn’t safe. It only offers temporary hiding spots.

• Hiding: Under the bed, in the tub, in shadowed corners. Breathe in the wrong place and it’s over.

• Perception model: Enemies react to light and odor. Report positions by radio; don’t waste movement.

• One mistake is enough: This is challenge horror. If you die, there’s no save. The night resets.

Move (The Outside Is Watching You)

Standing still isn’t an option.

• Observation: Peek through the blinds to scan for approachers; check the backyard.

• Route planning: Time your room transitions. Leave doors unlocked and you invite trouble in.

• Lock discipline: Unlock when you go out, lock when you return. A simple lapse ends the night.

Key Features

• One-night structure: Continuous tension from 22:00 to dawn.

• Dynamic threats: Distinct enemy behaviors from inside and outside.

• Systemic fear: Sound, light, smell, time… all work against you.

• Risk-driven production: Tiered minigames; gain speed, raise the chance of error.

• True challenge design: Permadeath, tight resource management, clear punishments.

• Early Access: Regular updates to visuals, audio, and mechanics. Your feedback shapes the game.

How Do I Progress?

There’s no “leveling up,” only mastery. The smarter you play the same night, the farther you go. Achievements, tactic discovery, practice… it’s all on you.
