Gameplay
Creepy Castle is a side-scrolling role-playing game where the player controls Moth, an anthropomorphic insect adventurer. The game is composed of a number of separate story campaigns, each of which spans multiple hours and has unique content and gameplay mechanics.Visually, Creepy Castle resembles both NES games and earlier Atari titles. A number of built-in filters are included, allowing the game to appear as if it is running on a Game Boy or a CRT television among others. Mechanically, Creepy Castle sees the player navigating a large, multi-layered complex while collecting healing items and defeating enemies. Some areas of the map require special items to traverse, giving the game a key Metroidvania quality. Combat is turn-based and is accomplished through a number of different minigames that require the player to constantly adapt to new rule sets.
