It’s so hard to feel seen as a Cryptid these days. In this easy-to-learn strategy game, you’ll navigate your love-hate relationship with humans and outwit your fellow Cryptids to earn your status as a true legend. As hikers, hunters, and researchers scatter across the wilderness hoping to catch a glimpse of you, you’ll stage elaborate hoaxes, plant perfect decoys, and lurk discreetly in the shadows to build up your myth.

You might even expose your true self once in a while, but be warned: vulnerability can come at a price.

Victoria ★★★★★

I love how the theme of being misunderstood cryptids actually makes the strategy feel personal. The win condition ties perfectly to each creature's unique relationship with humans, and it’s simple enough to teach new players in under five minutes.

Natalie ★★★★★

The rulebook explains the unique victory conditions for each Cryptid so clearly that my group picked it up in under five minutes, and the bluffing mechanic keeps everyone engaged until the very last turn.

Penelope ★★★★★

The asymmetric player powers really shine once you get a few rounds in, and the card art is delightfully weird. My group had a blast trying to out-bluff each other while secretly wanting to befriend the humans.
