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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"image-with-text__heading h1 rte\"\u003eChoose Your Cryptid\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-with-text__text rte body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePick your favorite Cryptid and get ready to play!
