I just played (and recorded) Emberhart Games super awesome 2D action/adventure game “Courier of the Crypts“. And it sure was a pleasant experience (for more than one reason).

I don´t know how many of you guys that remember games such as “Fester’s Quest” and “Simon the Sorcerer“.

But those were the vibes that i feelt while playing Simon the Courier of the Crypts demo.

And “Zelda: A link to the past” of course (also felt some “zombies ate my neighbors” vibes as well(. Then you got the whole setting and atmosphere, which would be very ghoulish, evil and full of magic.

All i can say is this. Watch the video, download and try the demo yourselves.

And if you like Courier of the Crypts, then show it some love on indiegogo =)
