The World of Cryptids Meets Pokemon!, May 29, 2025

I grew up reading books and watching specials about Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and other cryptids, so Cryptozookeeper was right up my alley. In this game, interactive diction veteran author Robb Sherwin has written an interactive fiction game with RPG elements embedded. Like traditional interactive fiction games you'll need to navigate through the game and solve puzzles, but eventually you'll begin collecting the elements needed to create your own army of cryptids which you'll need to win battles. Throughout every step of the way you'll be treated to equal parts of humor and gore, two of Sherwin's style trademarks. I'm not sure I've ever played a game quite like this one before and while I'm tempted to say it's worth playing just for that, the truth is it's worth playing because it's one of the most fun, funny, and creative games I've ever seen built using an interactive fiction engine. Come for the cryptids, stay for the fun!
