Get 1000xRESIST & Cryptmaster in this deep discount launch bundle.
Can't decide between these two IGF-nominated indies? WHY NOT BOTH?!
One thing has long divided games more than any other. Clones or Crypts.
They tried many ways to help them decide between discovering the lie at the heart of a clone society and exploring underground crypts as a party of long-dead heroes, but still the cries of discord rang out…
Clones! Crypts! Clones! Crypts!
Then on May 9th, 2024…
WHY NOT BOTH?
The teams at Fellow Traveller and Akupura somehow convinced the developers of 1000xRESIST and Cryptmaster to offer a bundle of both games on Steam at a ridiculously good price. And, for five days only, there will be peace on the internet.
These two IGF-nominated games, launching on the same day in one of the busiest release weeks ever for quality indie games, should be fighting each other tooth and claw for your dollars and attention. Instead they’re teaming up to give you double the existential dread at a bargain price. Oh, the independence!
Normally retailing for a combined $44.98, the 10% launch discounts on each game are supercharged by a 32% bundle discount to bring the cost to get both games via the Why Not Both? Bundle down to just US$27.53.
At this price you’d have to be some kind of weirdo to only buy one of the games since 1000xRESIST normally costs $19.99 and Cryptmaster will usually set you back $24.99.
The characters in these games may have been around for hundreds or thousands of years but the Why Not Both? bundle is only sticking around for 5 days and will expire at 11.59pm PST on Monday May 13th.
It’s only available on Steam HERE.
If you’re not already familiar with these two highly anticipated and already critically acclaimed (despite not having launched yet) games, here’s the lowdown…
SAY ANYTHING in this bizarre dungeon adventure where words control everything. Fill in the blanks with text or voice to uncover lost abilities, embark on strange quests, and solve mindbending riddles. Can you conquer the crypt and uncover the mystery at the heart of CRYPTMASTER?
Winner of Excellence in Design at the 2024 IGF Awards and also nominated for the Nuevo category, this is the passion project of Paul Hart and Less Williams, two veteran developers whose love for dungeon-crawling MUDs has now blossomed into the inimitable, indefatigable Cryptmaster! Ironic and sardonic in equal measure, the Cryptmaster's unique voice has sparked dread and intrigue into the hearts of many-- so long as their wit is as sharp as their weapons!
Cryptmaster is published by indie label Akapura Games (Rain World, GRIME, Astrea) and launches on PC on May 9, 2024.

1000xRESIST is a thrilling sci-fi adventure. The year is unknown, and a disease spread by an alien invasion keeps you underground. You are Watcher. You dutifully fulfil your purpose in serving the ALLMOTHER, until the day you discover a shocking secret that changes everything.
Nominated for three awards at the IGF (Seumas McNally Grand Prize, Excellence in Narrative and Nuevo), it’s the debut game of Sunset Visitor, a majority Asian-Diaspora team from Canada who pivoted from making interactive art, music, dance and theatre during the covid pandemic into creating a video game - and knocked it out of the park on their first attempt.
1000xRESIST was funded by the Canadian Media Fund and is published by indie label Fellow Traveller (Citizen Sleeper, Paradise Killer, Genesis Noir). It launches on PC and Nintendo Switch on May 9, 2024.
