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.
