PROJECT
WHAT Is PROJECT CRYSTALYSIS?
PROJECT CRYSTALYSIS is a gargantuan project consisting of video games, music, print media (magazines, artwork, comics, and manga), and story writing.
Join the Patreon to follow the progress and see exclusive content that won't be publicly released for at least a decade
Despite the diverse nature of the project, sub-projects, and its sub-sub-projects, everything in PROJECT CRYSTALYSIS is tied together in the same narrative. With all material related, it would be a safe assumption that all material would be thematically consistent, but that is where you're WRONG.
Every facet of PROJECT CRYSTALYSIS is intentionally laced with the unique perspectives of the creatives that are hand picked by The Espressos. The diversification of content was baked into the story of PROJECT CRYSTALYSIS, and in turn has infected all other facets of the project.
STORY
The story is divided into 5 acts and follows a lone human struggling to justify her existence, protecting what seems to be nothing. All life across the multiverse was consumed. The only thing left are a limited force of allied invulnerable angelic janitors and said singular human. The only thing (other than her sanity) to protect now is the fabric of reality as the invaders who consumed everything threaten the very laws that allow for life.
All content, no matter the style or theme in this project fall within the storyline.
The main messages of the narrative denounces the toxic positivity of "your best is enough", facing the challenging reality of what happens after failure, and accepting one's limits without falling into hopeless stagnation.
Voters and members of the Patreon will be able to cast votes on the direction of certial lore developments, providing a fun community interaction element to the long journey that is
PROJECT CRYSTALYSIS
MUSIC
The Music of PROJECT CRYSTALYSIS is intentionally diverse as the environments that the protagonist of the story traverses through. Every piece and song has a purpose in reflecting what is happening in the narrative.
For example, the music of Act 1 (OST #1-6) is all exposition and environmental descriptions, while the following acts add circumstances, and the protagonist's internal thoughts. The 5 act structure of the story provides bountiful opportunity for The Espressos and their hand picked collaborators to build upon an ever increasing vault of material.
GAMES
PROJECT CRYSTALYSIS will produce a total of 2-3 videogames, and any spin offs if needed.
WTF IS CAKE??? (mobile game)
This goofy cake making dating simulator follows the alien friends of our beloved protagonist and their quest to make a strawberry vanilla cake.
The goal is to create a cake as aliens who...
1. Have no idea what cake is
2. Are combat trained and have powers better suited for mass destruction
3. Need to piece together ancient fragments of the internet, and evade misinformation
4. Must hide all progress from the human protagonist
5. Have never worked together in a kitchen
CRYSTALYSIS (PC game)
This first person movement shooter will be the flagship game that offers unique combat within non-euclidean spaces as well as a variety of environments ranging from outer space, to ghost infested factory planets.
The completion of CRYSTALYSIS is the end goal of PROJECT CRYSTALYSIS. All soundtracks as of 2025 are written as source material explicitly for CRYSTALYS, hence the "OST" designations.
Each cutscene, level, and environment will most likely to have its own soundtrack, reflecting the genre of music that suits each occasion the best.
Structured like a shakespeare play, the story will escalate over 5 acts, giving the player ample time to sharpen their skills and senses to prepare for the brutal and epic finale of CRYSTALYSIS.
Print media & ARTWORK
This covers anything from concept art to purchasable content like official comic/manga snippets. Voters and members of the Patreon will be able to cast votes on the direction of certial lore developments as well as small details of artworks.
manga/comics
Comics and manga will serve as visual context to the lyrics of any OST that has lyrics. This hopefully be another source of income and exposure for the project and its diverse cast of handpicked artists.
WHY SUPPORT?
PROJECT CRYSTALYSIS?
REASON #1
The founder, V, cannot do this alone.
He is just one guy with multiple voices in his head which means he cannot do multiple things at once. This means he needs time to progress PROJECT CRYSTALYSIS. Time can be bought with money, allowing him to focus on the project without becoming homeless.
Statement from The Espresso 01-C
The Espresso 01-V and
The Espresso 01-E
"Our vessel, V had a random
seizure the other day which
was hilarious until the hospital bill came in, which was arguably worse than the skull fracture and brain damage combined...
...Like V's skull, our collective funds and source of income took a massive hit and we made the difficult decision to go public with this project with only 5 years worth of content"
REASON #2
The Espressos believe that artists should get paid a fair price. Paying artists fairly both increases the quality of the content, as well as cooperation and future affairs. This is done both for the sake of the project but also because The Espressos care about their audience :)
REASON #3
You, yes YOU, the viewer and listener can directly influence parts of the story, names of characters, and even potential collaborations with musical artists!
Although this is a passion project, we also want to share this passion with YOU as we want to give back to the people that support us in the past present and future.
