Description




Crypt Custodian is a charming metroidvania/zelda-like about cleaning up the afterlife.

You play as Pluto - a mischievous cat who has just died, and landed in the afterlife's palace. After a brief and disastrous meeting with the Afterlife Guardian - Kendra - you are banished from the palace and sentenced to clean... FOREVER!!

Explore the vast grounds that surround the palace, battle beasts with your trusty broom, and gain new abilities to expand your map. Solve puzzles, discover secrets, and… organize an ambush to break back into the palace!


A Charming Cast Of Characters

Meet and befriend all the other bad ghosts who live outside the palace. Learn how they died, and what caused them to face eternal banishment! And then head on over to the local haunt- The Sinner’s Inn- to chat with the ghosts you meet, and upgrade your gear.

Tons of Upgrades

Complete puzzles, battle epic bosses, and clean your way through ruined dungeons in order to collect new upgrades and abilities. Customize your play style by mix-and-matching your upgrades, and use the abilities you collect to expand your world.

A Lively Interconnected World

The first cute-cozy metroidvaina I've ever played. The artstyle is really cute, the plot is really cute, the characters, the monsters, the bosses, the "backstory" pictures and every dialogue... everything is really

A cute aesthetic Metroidvania that will challenge your reflexes and long-term memory. The game doesn't explain why the animals are anthromorphic in the afterlife, but the story is only one of the few weak points. You
