Get ready to dive into the quirky world of Crypt Custodian, a brand-new Metrodivania game brought to you by Islets developer Kyle Thompson. In this upcoming PC release hitting Steam in 2024, you’ll find yourself in the rather unconventional role of a cleaner in the afterlife.

Picture this: You take on the mantle of Pluto, a mischievous feline who’s recently met their demise and ended up in the magnificent palace of the afterlife. However, things take a turn for the worse when you have an unfortunate encounter with Kendra, the guardian of the afterlife. As a result, you’re exiled from the palace and left with the eternal task of cleaning up the messes of the departed.

But fear not! As you explore the sprawling grounds surrounding the palace, armed with nothing more than your trusty broom, you’ll encounter menacing beasts that stand in your way. Along the journey, you’ll unlock new abilities that not only aid you in battles but also expand your map, opening up new areas to explore.

Prepare to put your puzzle-solving skills to the test as you navigate through this charming and whimsical world. Keep your eyes peeled for hidden secrets that could prove to be the key to your success. And who knows, maybe you’ll even rally a team and plan an audacious ambush to regain entry into the grand palace.

With its captivating blend of Metroidvania and Zelda-like elements, Crypt Custodian promises to deliver an experience that will keep you hooked for hours on end. So mark your calendars for 2024 because this game is not one to be missed!
