Decrypt
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
When a freight ship goes missing and is later found abandoned, you are sent to investigate it to solve the mystery of its missing crew.
The ISS Travan is found at a fringe system thousands of klicks off its original course.

What you will uncover on the Travan is a far more insidious and horrifying truth.
Features:
- First-person sci-fi survival-horror adventure
- Story-rich gameplay - piece together a compelling narrative to discover the fate of the Travan's crew
- Deep Exploration - traverse the ship to locate Terminals to progress
- All original soundtrack

Great game loved the story and design.
Nice game! I had one free yesterday; I am really so happy. I'm a Vietnamese. Love you!
Thank you for playing Decrypt.
Originally played Within, glad I went back to experience this one! Space based horrors are always awesome, and you guys had the perfect blend of storytelling, exploration and intense scares where they mattered. Excellent work, can't wait for your future games!
Thanks for playing Decrypt and for sharing your playthrough.

i can't seem to open the app with my mac :(
hi there, please send an email to hello@cruxgamestudios.com so we can help you.
So I completed the game, and honestly, it was really fun. I'd probably improve the flashlight, and add some voice messages, with the codes being in some sort of notepad. But other than that, really awesome and would definitely recommend others to give this a try! 7.5/10

Space horror game better than Starfield
I can't believe that this game was free, what an experience. I am playing on mac due to my PC being currently not working but wow. I will 100% recommend this game to my friends. The graphics was amazing, the story was really well told and I wanted to look at every log to understand it all. For a free game?!?!?! 10/10
Thank you for playing Decrypt; glad you enjoyed the game!
Thank you for your game good job
Another awesome game by Crux, as usual!
Thanks for playing Decrypt and sharing your video!
A fun story if you like Pandorum and Event Horizon. Doesn't take too long to play. The walking (and running) speed can be quite slow if you have to backtrack, or when running from something. The game is very dark, even with boosted brightness, but that adds to the atmosphere I guess. It reminded me of the atmosphere I created in my Lost Solace books: dark, empty, ominous spaceships, and strange threats. So a thumbs up there!
hi there, thank you for playing Decrypt and for your feedback. We looked up your books and they sure sound awesome - right up our alley. We'll check them out! Thank you.
Hi Amber, thank you for playing Decrypt and sharing your playthrough.
of course thank you.
DECRYPT+ TIMBERLODGE INN
This was one of my all time favorite of your games! I enjoyed it a ton! great job! i will forever play all of the games you release!Thank you for the kind words; we're glad you enjoyed Decrypt.
EDIT: The lore and plot and backstory... Holy hell! Descriptive, thought out and makes you think of real life history and where humankind might be headed for, if not already at. Had a few deep moments near the end. Better ending (like I mentioned in the video) would have been just to BLOW THAT SHIP UP LOL!!!!
I can't believe I found this game!! it was on the first screen when I opened Itch. So I decided to stream it. Super amazing job and also... evil job on some of the jumpscares. I think my heart has turned into liquid and flowed out my rectum. You're welcome for the mental image btw. The lore is sooo well done. I can't wait to find out how this ends... Totally expecting a sad ending, or tragic death for me (with my luck). I will be posting highlights from my stream. (https://www.twitch.tv/vladtheuglyfattyfm) If you see this in time, you might be able to catch it, but highly doubtful, I think I might be almost done. But like I said, I've been taking lots of clips and highlights as I go, and I will highlight the gameplay and post it here. 10/10 AMAZING JOB!!!!! <3
P.S. The part in the mess hall with the thing sitting down and then turning around... FU! That was good and evil just to go back in and get a damn card hahahahah. Good jumpscare xD
Full playthrough here!

Thank you for the kind words; we're glad you enjoyed Decrypt. Be sure to share the video of your playthrough here in the comments when you've published it on your channel.
Hey Guys! The video published a couple of days ago and here is it! Keep up the fantastic work! Also this is probably one of my favorite thumbnails ive done.
Hi there; thank you for sharing your playthrough! The thumbnail looks cool!
10/10 creepy! Gameplay...
Thank you for playing Decrypt and sharing your video.
I cannot say enough good things about this game. It was creepy and mysterious. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for playing Decrypt; we're glad you enjoyed the game.
Ich kaufe nichts
Loved this game also it got me jump scared and terrified to wanna walk around. It was a little shame about the amount of reading but other than that you made another wonderful game just like within.
Thank you for playing Decrypt and for sharing your video.
Hi there; thank you for playing our games and for your kind words and support🙂. We're glad you enjoyed Decrypt.
Every single one of your games has been an absolute treat and I look forward to any and all of your future releases!
Great Game! Totally Farout!
Really enjoyed the premise and sound design was top notch.
I hope the team can further develop the lore and the universe and we see further games within that universe
check out my thought on the game
Hi, thank you for your kind words and for sharing your video. We're glad you enjoyed Decrypt.
Great premise! A little more problem solving and FAR less reading would be great. It needs other ways to tell us the background, not just pages and pages of emails. More jump scares on that final run would have been cool too.
Regardless, a good game that I enjoyed!
Thank you for playing Decrypt and for sharing your feedback.
Loved this game! Reminded me a lot of Event Horizon! Solid 8.5/10!
Here's my playthrough:
Hi there; thank you for playing Decrypt and for such a positive rating. Be sure to check out our latest title, Within
Had Great Fun Playing, Thank You!
Thanks for playing Decrypt and sharing your video.
It's scary, it's stressful, but it's thrilling- and I loved every bit of this game!!
Hello! Thank you for playing Decrypt and sharing your video; it was great fun to watch your playthrough and your reaction to the game :)
I got Alien and Event Horizon vibes (BTW such an underrated movie, same as The Soldier, but this is the topic for another discussion :) ). The atmosphere is cool, sound design very well crafted, notes interesting. Bravo!
When I went to the canteen I almost fell out of the game, think had a collider bug (on the wall, next to the stairs).
hi there, thank you for your kind words; we're glad you enjoyed Decrypt. (Thanks for reporting the collider issue; we'll have a look.)
Thank you for playing Decrypt and sharing your video.
Really liked this game to be fair. Great story in my opinion where it starts slowly just figuring out what happened. Overall turning over time scarier and scarier. In my opinion, really fun to play.
Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your playthrough! We're glad you enjoyed Decrypt.
An amazing job working on this! Just one small issue tho: at the end, the "jumpscares" were pretty dull at that time because it was already expected anyway, maybe try something else?

Wow guys, good job! Amazing game :D
Thank you, we're glad you liked it!
