Old Skull Games has announced the release date for their innovative roguelite dungeon crawler, Cryptical Path. Launching on Steam on January 29th, 2025, the game introduces a unique “rogue-builder” mechanic that allows players to build their own dungeon layouts and customize their runs.
Building Your Own Labyrinth
In Cryptical Path, players control the Architect, tasked with navigating a constantly shifting labyrinth. The twist is that players can actively place rooms within the dungeon, shaping their path and influencing the challenges they face. This innovative feature adds a new layer of strategy and replayability to the traditional roguelite formula. Players who enjoy optimizing builds and strategizing their approach will find a lot to love in this system.


Blending Action and Strategy
Cryptical Path promises fast-paced action combat alongside its unique building mechanics. Players will need to master dodging, dashing, and slashing as the Architect while strategically placing rooms to create advantageous encounters. The game also features classic roguelite elements like permanent progression through unlocking items and talents, encouraging players to experiment with different builds across multiple runs.
