Crypt Custodian

About

Crypt Custodian casts you as Pluto a sassy feline stuck scrubbing the afterlife. This side scrolling action RPG blends platforming with open world exploration as you navigate decaying crypts and haunted halls. Battle spectral menaces upgrade your abilities and interact with ghosts trapped in bureaucratic purgatory. The loop mixes combat puzzles and light crafting all while Pluto s sarcastic commentary clashes with the grim setting. The game pops with colorful visuals and deadpan humor that offsets its spooky trappings. A large map encourages backtracking with new paths unlocking after each upgrade. Available on nearly every console and PC it launches August 27 2024. While not impressive the brisk pacing and Pluto s chaotic energy make for a memorable 15 hour jaunt through the underworld.
