Pest Control in the Crypt

Welcome to the Crypt

Battle through 24(+) waves of increasingly chaotic Pests to claim a victory against the Crypt and the mysterious Abyss that lies beneath it. This is an ideal opportunity for any alchemist to push themselves to the limit and test just how deep into the Crypt they can go. Attune to an element with your keyboard (1 2 3 4 5) or scroll wheel, then aim with a mouse to throw potions. This will consume Mana so be careful how you use your potions!

The Crypt has difficult gameplay for all challengers, with an ascending difficulty system that can push even experienced alchemists, while remaining accessible at its early stages.

As you make attempts, earn Achievements that track your progress, unlock new events that can occur within the depths, and earn boons to make your future runs easier. You will need to make impactful choices as events occur: you may meet bizarre travelers within the depths, encounter traps and treasures, or unearth mysterious secrets of a long-lost civilization.

As you battle through the Crypt, you'll earn coins that can be spent in shops, tended to by a silent spirit. Purchase goods to strengthen your run and min-max your strategies. Further maximize your strategies by utilizing and upgrading your Active Item, which can be activated at any time with space or right click to activate one of many possible effects. Carve your Path through the Crypt by additionally upgrading a skill tree that you can build your run around.
