Cryptid Gardens

Welcome to Cryptid Gardens,

a strange and serene logic puzzle game where your task is to populate a mysterious garden with bizarre and beautiful creatures - cryptids - each with their own peculiar needs, habits, and hidden rules of behavior.

Your goal is simple in theory: place all the creatures onto the board so that every one of their unique needs is satisfied. But the rules? Those are for you to discover.

As you progress, new creatures and more complex puzzles are introduced, forcing you to rethink what you’ve learned and uncover deeper layers of behavior and interaction. With each solved puzzle, you piece together the unspoken ecosystem of this strange garden.

Features

• 5 Cryptids, each with their own unique rulesets, interactions and design
• 27 Regular Levels
• 3 Hidden Engame Levels

Meet the Cryptids

Folium Comedentis
A small, elusive creature with moss-covered fur and silent movements, known to feed on vegetation with eerie precision and vanish without a trace.

Galecornus Venator
A sturdy, agile creature marked by curved horns and powerful legs, it preys on smaller animals with sudden leaps but rarely strays far from the safety of its herd.

Ectovus Tenebricola
A timid, burrowing creature that avoids open spaces, it spends nearly its entire life within dense tunnel networks, rarely surfacing except under cover of darkness or heavy cover.

Avis Symetriae
An elegant, wide-eyed creature drawn to quiet places and reflective surfaces, it moves with uncanny grace and is often glimpsed more than once.

Pacivorus Agricola
A small, reclusive creature known for its exceptional gardening instincts. Though it avoids contact with others, it cultivates lush, productive plots wherever it settles near existing fauna.
