About the Game
Crisol: Theater of Idols is a gripping survival horror adventure set in the haunting world of Hispania, a nightmarish reimagining of Spain.
Playing as Gabriel, a soldier who can use his own blood as a deadly weapon, you endeavor on a journey to fulfill a divine mission from the Sun God.
Key Features:
Explore the Cursed Island of Tormentosa
Uncover the chilling history and twisted folklore of Tormentosa, a beautiful but malevolent island. Traverse eerie landscapes, crumbling grand ruins, and labyrinthine streets as you peel back the layers of cults and blood sacrifice.
Blood is Your Weapon—and Your Curse
Blood is both your lifeline and your ammunition. Wield this new-found power against terrifying enemies and solve intricate puzzles, but beware: every shot drains your life. Choose wisely—survival hinges on your ability to balance life and death.
Manage Your Powers and Weapons
Upgrading the powers that leverage the lethality of blood allows you to deal more damage, fight for longer, and gain bonuses in combat. Navigate myriad weapon options for the right scenario and improve them through coins found in your exploration of Tormentosa.
A Story Rooted in Horror and History
Hispania’s disturbing fusion of historical events, folklore, and religious undertones creates a uniquely horrifying world. Face off against staggering statues brought to life and unravel a dark narrative that blurs the line between reality and nightmare.
Prepare to sacrifice everything. How much blood will you shed to uncover the truth?

PATCH – UPDATE NOTES
Hi everyone,
In this patch, our main focus has been fixing critical bugs across PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X. We've also been able to add some quality of life improvements such as ultrawide screen support and general difficulty rebalance (something highly requested by the community). This patch is now live on Steam, and should be available on consoles in the next hour.
We’ll continue monitoring the forums to make sure everything is running smoothly, and we’ll keep working on adding more content and addressing additional issues.
DLSS and FSR are currently experiencing compatibility issues. We are actively working on resolving them, and implementing both technologies remains one of our top priorities.
Thank you for your patience.

Dolores boss damage increased.
Some resources have been removed from the game.

Known Issues
The 30,000 Coins achievement may appear as completed in-game even if the required amount has not yet been reached. However, the achievement will continue tracking correctly in the background and will properly unlock once the player reaches the full 30,000 coins. (only PS5 and Xbox)

Increased boat speed in Chapter 3, but If you have the frame rate uncapped, the boat moves slower. For now, it works correctly when capped at 60 FPS.
These issues will be resolved in a future patch.
Hi everyone, we’ve identified the issue — don’t worry, your save files haven’t disappeared. It appears to be an error related to the fix we implemented to prevent demo save files from being recognized in the full game.
We’ll have it resolved within the next few hours. Thank you very much for your patience.
- Fixed an issue with the save system that caused certain doors to appear closed after loading a save.
We’re very sorry for the inconvenience, but we’re always keeping an eye on the forums with the goal of improving the game and giving you the best possible experience.
Thank you all.
Hey all, thanks for your patience as we work towards addressing the feedback since launch. This initial hotfix aims to address some of the more urgent issues, and we're already hard at work on the next one.
Patch Notes
Loading Screen Added
A loading screen has been implemented to make players aware that the game is still running when level loading takes longer than expected.
This resolves the issue where some players were seeing a black screen with the HUD visible in the top-left corner during loading.
Demo Save Compatibility Fix
We’ve implemented a fix to prevent residual demo autosave files from being loaded when pressing Continue in the main menu.
Previously, this could result in a black screen because those demo autosaves were not compatible with the full release.
With this fix:
Autosaves created before 2/10/26 will no longer be read.
However, if you generated a new demo autosave after that date, you will still need to delete it manually or overwrite it by creating a new autosave while playing the base game.
