The next game from Cryptic Comet, Occult Chronicles, is now available for purchase as a "beta buy in" (for $15), similar to Minecraft and other games. The game is a cross between a roguelike and "modular exploration horror board games" such as Mansions of Madness and Betrayal at House on the Hill. But where those board games can be a bear to set up and play, this game does all that and the "game mastering" for you. :) There are some pretty deep mechanics to get used to, though, as is normal for games from Cryptic Comet.
I made a half-hour video showing the start of a game and did my best to try and explain alot of the mechanics involved. I'm not affiliated with Cryptic Comet, but I was in the closed beta, so I have had some experience with this game already. I heartily reccomend it, but check out the video below to see if it is your cup of tea.
Here's the link to the video:
