Welcome to CrimsonTear, Video Game Guides built by fans for fans!
A few tweaks to the Wizardry 7 guide over the past month, and I have completed the walkthrough for the chapter titled Unforgiven for Murder in the Alps. Work has already begun for the next chapter, which I hope will be completed before the end of the month..
Background work has already begun for the Wizardry 8 game guide, but it will be a while before any content is published. Work on the Murder in the Alps guide will be the main priority for at least a few months.
Our upcoming RPG guides will be for the core Might and Magic series and the later Wizardry games (after Wizardry 8). Wizards and Warriors will also be included with Wizardry. I am still deciding whether to continue with the Wizardry series before starting with Might and Magic. The Dungeons and Dragons CRPGs, Pathfinder and Pillars of Eternity are also on my long to-do list.
Our upcoming Adventure games will be for the Enigmatis series, then the other Artifex Mundi games in the Unsolved: Hidden Mystery collection. Murder by Choice may sneak in if they release a PC version. There are many others I would like to create guides for, but I am still determining how far I will get.
The name CrimsonTear [pronounced ˈ krimzənˌ ter] can mean many things to the world, especially when incorrectly pronounced. I chose the name when imagining a phoenix rising quickly from the ashes leaving a fire-bordered tear in reality, which exposes a new world behind it. You can also think of it as tearing through a game, leaving only a fire trail behind, since that is what our guides help gamers do.
While others strive to make as many game guides or walkthroughs as possible, I focus on quality. Expect high-quality game guides providing details, tips and information that we find helpful or entertaining. I also try not to cut corners by copying what exists already. Hence, I create maps manually, provide more valuable descriptions (when possible), and look outside the box for ways to complete tasks. I don't just want to help someone beat a game but also provide helpful ways to finish them quickly while still enjoying the experience. While I have created a few guides for console games, most of the tiles featured are available for Windows, although mobile and console versions usually exist.
This site wasn't always about game guides, though. Some archived pages include guides for TV shows, reviews and news. Back then, you could think of the name as binging something until your eyes turn red. Initially, it was a site that helped gamers emulate old console games on PCs. Back then, we were known as Nerologic, but that feels like different life at this point. While you won't see game downloads here, CrimsonTear has returned to its roots by focusing on gaming. I have no intention of returning to the source of the world's cleanest ROMs, people like Vimm can do that, but the site wouldn't be where it is now if it wasn't for the loyal fans that followed through with the changes and helped me strive to be the best game guide creators on the internet.
