Crypt Custodian is a 2024 metroidvania video game developed by American independent game developer Kyle Thompson and published by Top Hat Studios. A single-player video game played from the top-down perspective, it follows Pluto, a black cat who dies and is tasked with cleaning up the underworld. With his broom, Pluto must sweep up trash and fight enemies, make friends with other creatures, and escape the afterlife. Crypt Custodian features many abilities, upgrades, power-ups, and collectible items that the player can find by exploration, defeating enemies, solving puzzles, or purchasing with in-game currency. The map is separated into themed areas that are gradually unlocked as the story progresses. Crypt Custodian has three main difficulty levels, as well as several additional game modes.
Runs well on modern hardware.

It is a really solid game, it runs smoothly, gameplay is clean and to be honest you have a lot of fun. There are no super high bar challenges, some boss could give you a hard time if you aren't very used to games, but no walls or anything in this games really (well.... unless you are going for the boss rush S+ rank achievement which is..... oh well) You really feel the love in this game, and if you are interested in the bits of story, it's there. Really nice game, had a blast from start to finish Great work devs! Thanks for this!
Very fun and very charming little game! The puzzles and platforming were very fun, and the save system was generous enough that I never got frustrated even with some of the more difficult areas. The boss rush mode just doesn't tempt me, which is the only reason I don't have 100% on achievements, but playing through the actual bosses was fun. Worked great on my Steam Deck as well. Highly recommend!
I really loved this game, it was very interesting to explore all the little hidden secrets. And if you suck at it like i do , you can turn some or all the accessibility features and just play it like a cozy story game. It was definitely worth it.
