[WORLD SETTING= Set in an alternative universe of present day Earth. At the turn of the millennium, portals began to appear which various creatures and anomaly’s surfaced from. These are referred to as Millennium Portals. These beings were given the name “Cryptids”. Cryptids come in all shapes and sizes, from looking almost completely humanoid to horrific amorphous forms that consistently change shape. No two Cryptids are the same. An institute was swiftly formed to capture, contain, and study these creatures, known as the Cryptid Research Institute (or CRI for short.) The aim of the CRI is to perform various experiments on captured Cryptids, to study how they behave under varying conditions, and work towards better understanding why the portals that harboured them began to appear in the first place.]
