Randomized cryptid matcher, April 11, 2026

At the start of the game, you get assigned three cryptids to capture, with three clues each. Most of the clues are ambiguous, applying to more than one cryptid, and/or hard to interpret. You can (and should) review all of the cryptids and all of the photos before picking three of them to capture.

My first few tries, I got only 2 out of 3; only in the final attempt did I get 3 out of 3. The replying process felt frustrating, especially since the game doesn't tell you which cryptid you got wrong. At no point did I say, "oh, of course, I should have known that the right answer was X instead of Y."

There are plot choices in the ending, which was nice.
