Crudelis

About

Crudelis is a compact RPG where you play a dead man figuring out his own demise in a grim steampunk world. The game unfolds across 60 minutes of branching decisions that shift the story's tone and outcomes. You interact with a cast of morally gray characters in a setting of brass gears and perpetual fog, balancing dialogue choices and action selections that ripple into unexpected consequences. The narrative loops between past and present, forcing you to piece together fragmented memories while navigating a world that reacts to your every move. The game's tight runtime contrasts with its layered storytelling, packing existential stakes into a single session. Players often note the unsettling atmosphere and how minor choices, like helping a beggar or ignoring them, can alter later events in sharp ways. With no save points to cushion mistakes, the 75-minute campaign demands attention and risks, offering multiple endings to justify the brief but intense ride.
