Cryptid: Urban Legends

One player is a Scientist deploying heat, movement, and sonic sensors across a city map to narrow down the cryptid’s exact location; the other is the Cryptid trying to move covertly, remove evidence, and avoid detection. Players take asymmetric roles with different tools and objectives: the Scientist conducts scans and deduces while the Cryptid manipulates movement and the environment to mislead and escape. The game plays as a head‑to‑head deductive cat‑and‑mouse chase across a sprawling urban landscape, rewarding careful planning, inference, and timing.
