Changing the name of the game to Sanctumate
The name of the game is changing from Crypt Lord to Sanctumate. Primarily because Crypt Lord turned out to be a boss in WOW so trying to search for the game always just pulled up WOW stuff, which of course is not good for discover-ability. The story has also changed quite a bit since the demo, and the old name didn't fit anymore. I will leave the name of the game on steam as is for awhile so hopefully this announcement will percolate and people will not remove the game from their wishlists as they don't know what it is! (I have to get the name change approved by steam anyways) Thank you for your attention, and stay tuned!Read full article on Community Announcements (Cough-E)Patch NotesOfficial
