The Crimping is a first-person action-adventure game featuring campy humor, puzzle-solving, and a variety of combat and platforming challenges. You'll meet an assortment of humorous and frightful characters set in a large, continuous world above and deep below the streets of Portland, Oregon.

An indie charmer with carefully designed environments, hilarious AI voices, and a wide assortment of gameplay, The Crimping is a truly unique adventure!
The Story
- "Hidden beneath Portland, Oregon's historical downtown buildings is a vast underground network of tunnels and cells that were used to capture and enslave tens of thousands of unsuspecting men and women. Many poor souls died in those so-called 'Shanghai Tunnels,' which are said to be one of the most haunted places in the world."
In The Crimping, you experience a real-life haunted hotel that was once used to "crimp" or capture people. As you uncover the mysteries of the hotel's otherworldly inhabitants, you may find yourself drawn into the dangerous horrors of the Shanghai Tunnels. Only your wits and reflexes can save you the world below.
Will you survive The Crimping or will your fate be to join the thousands haunting Portland's darkest dungeons? Solve the mystery of Rose's restless soul in this light-hearted action adventure game based on real-life ghosts and haunted locations!
