Welcome to the crypt...

In this game, you are tasked with venturing on a pilgrimage to retrieve the enchanted crowns of the ancient Severus lineage, who ruled these lands long ago. Avoid traps, combat the undead, and enchant your gear to collect all 5 crowns, deep within the crypts.

This game was originally made in one week for the Illinois State University Summer 2023 game jam, but has since been updated with many more features. If interested, the original jam version can be downloaded here:  The Crypt of Severus(Jam Version) by lax919 (itch.io)

If you enjoyed playing the game, feel free to leave some feedback in the comments below! I'm always looking for ways to improve as a game dev so any insight on the game would be helpful.

I did a quick playthru of the first crypt. What a pleasant surprise! Fun, great graphics and gameplay. Not a fan of WASD. Direction arrows perhaps? With so many 'heavy' dungeon crawlers a light game with some arcade aspects is a welcome breath of fresh air!
