Rules & Limits
What to Know
- No earning cap. Connected leaderboard playtime continues earning Souls.
- Fair play is expected. Souls are currently calculated from connected leaderboard time, which may not always distinguish active play from idling. Deliberately farming Souls through prolonged AFK time or other manipulation is considered abuse; suspicious earnings may be reviewed, reversed, and reward access restricted.
- Steam verification unlocks access. Souls can accrue before Steam is linked, but cannot be viewed or spent until the identity matches.
- One Soul redemption per title. A Soul account cannot redeem the same game twice, including after an admin refund.
- Keys are limited inventory. A game disappears when no available keys remain.
- Inventory is shared. Bone Daddy rewards and Soul Shop redemptions draw from the same Steam-key pool.
Identity & Delivery
Your Steam password is never shared with Cryptic Conclave.
Steam sign-in confirms which Steam account belongs to you and connects it to your Soul balance. Steam does not provide your email address, so a separate delivery email must be verified before redeeming a key.
Experimental Rewards Program
Souls will continue to improve and grow.
The Soul reward system is experimental and may change as the community uses it. Earning rates, prices, eligible realms, rules, and available rewards may be adjusted to keep the program useful and sustainable. Steam games are only the beginning; in-game rewards, event rewards, and other ways to earn and spend Souls are planned for the future where supported.
Monthly Community Perks
A little extra for those who keep the Conclave going.
Bone Daddy: 25 Souls
Nitro Booster: 10 Souls
Both Active: 35 Souls
Bone Daddies link Steam through their private monthly portal; Nitro Booster grants are handled manually. These Souls join the same balance as playtime rewards and do not expire. Monthly Steam games remain a separate Bone Daddy perk. View the full perks and FAQ.
