Crimson Forge.EXE

**C:\GAMES> crimfrge.exe**

Somewhere in the dark there are three broken key pieces, a forge table, and a locked door.

And *HE* is in here with you.

Find the pieces. Forge the key. Get out — 10 levels deep. When he hears you, run. When you can't run, hide in a locker and hold your breath. If he catches you.... good luck...

Don't look away.

**HOW THIS GAME WAS MADE**

I made Crimson Forge.exe with AI tools, and I want to be upfront about that. The idea, the rules, the monster, the scares and the feel of every level are mine. I directed and play tested it through more than 60 versions, deciding what stayed and what got cut. The code and most of the textures were generated with Claude (Anthropic). The monster was made with ChatGPT image generation from my own design. The sounds and music are from Pixabay.
