$14.99Crawl Everyone Gets to Be the Monster
Crawl is a local dungeon crawler for up to four where one player is the living hero and the rest are ghosts controlling the monsters and traps. Kill the hero and you steal their body and take your turn crawling. Fast rounds, constant betrayal, and a boss fight where your friends drive the boss.

One hero, three jealous ghosts
You crawl the dungeon as the lone human, grabbing gold, XP, weapons and spells while your dead friends drift around you as ghosts. They possess monsters at pentagrams, hurl furniture and spring traps, all trying to land the killing blow. Whoever kills you becomes human, and you join the haunting. You spend half the match begging for mercy and the other half showing none, which makes every room loud.
A thirty-minute race to the boss
Each run lasts around 30 minutes and ends when someone is strong enough to face the final boss. As the hero you level up toward level 10 and shop at altars for gear. As a ghost you earn Wrath for kills and evolve through over 60 monsters, from vermin to demons and undead warriors. Then the roles flip again: the hero fights while the ghosts control the flailing limbs of the hulking final boss. Losing your body never means sitting out.
Good to know before you gather?
How many people can play together?
Up to four in local multiplayer, with bots filling empty slots. There is always exactly one human and up to three ghosts, so a full couch of four keeps every death personal.
Can you play it solo?
Yes, with vicious AI opponents, challenges to master, and items to unlock. It works and the monster variety keeps it moving, but the heart of it is friends haunting you on purpose. Come for the party crowds first, solo second.
Is it hard to learn?
No. Move, attack, use a special ability, possess a monster, buy gear at altars. The depth is in timing, positioning, and choosing when to spend gold or evolve your monster, so even the player in last place can land a lucky kill and steal the hero's body.
What do you actually control?
Controllers, keyboard or mouse all work. As the hero you swing weapons, cast spells and dodge traps in randomly generated rooms. As a ghost you drift, grab objects, trigger traps, and take over monsters that grow stronger between fights.
