Pest Control in the Crypt

Pest Control in the Crypt is a wave-based game in which you fight Pests in the Crypt and test how far you can descend into the mysterious Abyss beneath it. You attune to an element, aim with the mouse and throw potions, spending Mana with each throw. The game has 24 waves, followed by an endless challenge mode, and several difficulty modes with an ascending difficulty system that starts accessibly and can challenge experienced players.

Events and progression

As you make attempts, achievements track your progress, unlock events that can occur in the Crypt and award boons that make future runs easier. Events can bring bizarre travelers, traps, treasures and secrets of a long-lost civilization, and you make choices that affect your run. The game includes 180+ events and 84 achievements.

You earn coins while fighting and spend them in shops tended by a silent spirit, buying goods to strengthen your run and refine your strategies. You can also upgrade one of 32 Active Items, each with its own effects and upgrades, and build your run around upgrades from a skill tree with 50 Path Tree upgrades.

Pests and items

The Crypt contains 40+ Pests with varied abilities, along with 48 Passive Items available from the shop. Active Items can be activated at any time to trigger one of their possible effects.
