The crypts, once a sacred place of mourning, is now a place of corruption, where dark rituals are practiced, unbeknownst to the world outside..
Survive as a Courier on his first errand to the ominous crypts in this puzzle adventure game. Your main tool to achieve the delivery is a magic torch, which you use to illuminate your path, defend from darkness and solve puzzles.
The main aspect of the game is your magic torch. The environment will react to its flames in different ways so it will be common for you to toggle the flame on and off throughout the game. Some enemies will leave you alone while others will try to extinguish the torch. It's up to you to learn all about them and use that knowledge to your advantage. You can lure some enemies into traps or sneak past them. Will you let Dark Moths drink your light or attack you? Find riddles in the dark that only the magic flame can reveal. Enemies and puzzles should not be your main worry though...
Flame is a limited resource, which keeps you safe from the dark spirits – it must never run out!

A fun little puzzle action adventure. Plays similar to Zelda:LttP(the best zelda game), with gorgeous pixel art, secrets galore, and a neat story. 100% it was a tad difficult since there's very little info out there. Looking forward to more from Emberheart!
a fantastic 2d puzzle/dungeon crawlerish game with very awesome pixel graphics and great challange altough there is a "history" mode if you wanna enjoy the story witch is great also the fight system is really nice remaind me crystal caves or secret agent for the limited ammo thingy not sure if it was the dev intention but it can quite spooky be in the dark and if you torch is on low energy you are screw! so i would recommend dont waste too much time exploring if in your first game after you know the correct path and what to do then you can enjoy the levels and collect relics.give it a try cause is very amazing and for what i can see sadly under rated
This game is really fun. The level are nice and the main concept of gameplay is cool ! I was afraid about this "light" management but all my fears drop off when i started playing. Everything is correctly explain and your feel comfortable to explore those caves at the light of a torch. Good job dev ! I recommend this game.
It's a bad game.
Super well made and polished game, I just found the core gameplay to be a bit too repetitive and tedious after only an hour of playing. according to the stats screen I was 27% done with the game at about the hour mark so its also rather short.
I have seen in the trailer and by skimming through youtube videos that there are moments of the game that do seem to mix up the gameplay a bit and look interesting, but in general most of the gameplay is very slow paced and not all that challenging or interesting.
The torch and limited visibility mechanic is kind of cool at first, but gets annoying pretty quickly when you realize it means you are only gonna have about 3 inches of visibility on your screen for most of the time you are playing. Pair this with no map, and exploration just kind of ends up feeling like a bit of a chore.
At least in the time I played there was also no dash/run movement options, so navigating through the game, especially when backtracking, can feel extremely slow.
An enjoyable game to go through with plenty of secrets to find, though it does have it's fair share of bugs here and there it still holds up well.
really enjoying this game. impressive visuals for a solo dev.
Real gem so far! Definitely needs more attention.
Feels like the "Souls"-Games, because you have to think carfully about every step you take. And secrets!
Please Emberheart Games create more games, you are a talented mf!
P.S.
Did I mentioned: so many SECRETS.
An amazing atmospheric and spooky experience with cool ridlles! The feeling of importance and decision making is really strong and I quickly got immersed into the story. I got happy and releived each time I solved a riddle or got rid of a dangerous enemy. The music is brilliant and the sound effects create goosbumps while rushing trough the dungeons.
I strongly recommend getting this game, you will have a ton of fun time and sense of achievemnt!!
Sadly went to the most common mistake with puzzle games: at the end it had to turn into a bad combat game.
WARNING! This is not a cute casual pixel indie game!
It is a hard survival, almost horror, game.
You must manage your resources, you can't kill everything.
You must avoid enemies and traps, solve puzzles and manage your torch fuel.
You will rage when you die 5 times in a row in some boss fight.
But it is quite satisfying when you finally finish a hard map.
The graphics, ambient sounds and music are awesome!
Buy it if this sounds interesting to you :)
I haven't played the game that is keeping me tense all the time like Courier of the Crypt. It has fantastic pixel-art graphics and atmospheric music which just fits with the overall theme. Dialogs are fun and guide you enough to not get stuck, especially when starting.
The whole atmosphere is great and it just keeps you going. Wholeheartly recommended.
Great atmosphere and good controls,
Awesome game: atmospheric, immersive & challenging (but fair), with fantastic pixel-art & level design. My favorites are the hard to find artifacts and the even harder to find secrets = very rewarding.
It's hard to belive that this is a one-man-show...
10/10
This game is super fun, you don't even need to play it for that long to realise this, it is ever so fun with its pixel graphics and classic gaming. Woop for early access success :D
Courier of the Crypts is a very atmospheric puzzle game with stunning lighting and beautiful 2D graphics. As you all can probably tell from the screenshots. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes narrative game experiences combined with unique gameplay. The game is pretty much bug free, which is rare for an Early Access game. Some minor annoyances here and there, which will probably get fixed later (see cons).
This is not a hack 'n slash dungeon crawler so if you are expecting to massacre hordes of enemies and gather insurmountable amount of loot, this is probably not the kind of game you're looking for. You have projectile weapons and bombs (probably even more variety in later stages) but they are very limited and you're just best off trying to avoid enemies rather than waste bullets.
The main mechanic of the game is your magic torch, that keeps the enemies from charging towards you. They will still hurt you if you get too close to them but at least they won't run towards you from the other side of the room to eat you. You have a limited amount of power in the torch so there's a pressure to conserve the fire in order to make it through the level. Trust me, you don't want the torch to run out of juice..
Pros:
+ Graphics are gorgeous. Especially the lighting effects.
+ Great atmosphere.
+ Gameplay forces you to plan ahead, conserve your resources and to thread carefully.
+ Bosses are fun and challenging.
+ Sound effects and ambience works really well.
+ Interesting story and setting. Makes you want to find out what happened. Dialogues/monologues are also nice touch.
Cons (aka. minor nitpickings):
- The checkpoints only activate once. I went through a level where I finally beat the boss but still wasn't done with the level. I died after that and had to start from a checkpoint before the boss, even though I returned to the checkpoint after the boss fight. Would've liked a save after the fight too.
- Not too much variation in the gameplay for what I've played so far.
- Dialogues would benefit from professional editor's touch to make them less clunky. They are not bad by any means though.
All in all, I'm loving the game so far. It's very good for an Early Access game and the developer seems to be working hard on the game. It's definitely worth a buy even at it's current stage.
This game has similar graphics to Hammerwatch but is Way more thought out with puzzles and having to think for a little while on what to do next. I recommend this game.
I also like the setting of the game (Dark, Good atmosphere). They have done a great job so far and I am pretty sure the full release will be fantastic! <3
I have 3 videos up so far if you would like to see what the game is like in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAUuRtazmtU Enjoy :)
Courier of the Crypts is a charming game with great atmosphere and a great feeling of Eldritch Horror lurking in the darkness, biding its time for you to come and become its dinner.
It strikes a fine line between frustratingly hard and easy as pie; the whole experience is rewarding and leaves you with a desire for more.
For an early access game it is wonderfully polished with rarely any bugs to be found. The gameplay feels good, and its story is captivating from the start, albeit somewhat naive. And the music, the music is superb and a perfect fit at all times.
The game starts in a very atmospheric way and have a spooky/interesting story. Good mechanics and many interesting puzzles. The way to complete the map reminds me the games of 16bits era (pure nostalgia). For the best experience use a gamepad.
A great indie game for sure!
