CRYPTID PARK
LEVELS GUIDE
Cryptid Park is an 18+ puzzle game by Hotpink where you play as a mimic who transforms to solve puzzles. Because the game is split across a free demo and a paid full version, there is a lot of confusion about which levels actually exist. This guide lays out the verified facts so you know exactly what you can play right now.
Level Status at a Glance
- Level 1 — Free. Level 1 is the free tier of the demo. The developer has confirmed in the itch.io comments that the first level is free to play.
- Level 2 — Paid version required. Level 2 is gated behind the paid version. Players on the free build report not receiving Level 2 after finishing Level 1; the developer and community confirm the full version is a separate paid download.
- Level 3 — Not yet released. Level 3 has not shipped yet. The developer stated more levels are planned and community posts point to a target before Halloween. Treat any Level 3 walkthrough online as speculation until it is announced.
Level 1 — Free Demo
Level 1 is the free tier and the version most players start with. You explore the park as the mimic, learn the core transformation mechanic, and begin satisfying the patrons who visit after hours. The developer has stated in the itch.io comments that the first level is free.
Two puzzles in Level 1 come up repeatedly in the comments: what the Fan does, and how to get past the storage room. Because the community rules ask players not to dump full spoilers, the cleanest approach is to experiment with your available monster forms near each object — the mimic premise means the answer is usually a nearby item or creature you can copy.
Level 2 — Paid Full Version
Level 2 is not included in the free download. Several players on the free PC build report finishing Level 1 and never receiving Level 2. The developer and community both confirm that Level 2 lives in the paid full version, which is a separate download gated behind payment on the itch.io page.
Important: If you installed the free version and Level 2 did not unlock, this is expected behavior. Get the paid version from the official itch.io page to access Level 2.
Level 3 — Not Released Yet
Level 3 has not shipped. The release devlog explains that Hotpink and StarRifle built the game as a small project and are deciding whether to keep expanding it. In the comments, the developer has said "more levels and bigger" are planned, and community posts point toward a target before Halloween. Until there is an official announcement, ignore any site claiming to have a Level 3 walkthrough — it is guesswork.
Controls You'll Need for Every Level
- WASD / Arrow keys — Move
- Space bar (or alternative keys) — Action button
Why the "All Levels" Walkthroughs Are Misleading
You will find pages promising "Cryptid Park all levels" walkthroughs. Right now the game only ships two levels (one free, one paid), so any exhaustive walkthrough is either incomplete or fabricated. The trustworthy source of truth is the official devlog and the comment thread on the itch.io page.
