Crypt Custodian: A Purrfectly Unholy Metroidvania

Forget pearly gates; in *Crypt Custodian*, the afterlife is a mess, and you’re the one tasked with cleaning it up. As Pluto, a recently deceased—and remarkably mischievous—cat, you’ve found yourself banished from the afterlife palace after a less-than-stellar first impression with the stern Guardian, Kendra. Your sentence? Eternal janitorial duty!

But this isn’t your average cleaning gig. This is a charming Metroidvania adventure where your trusty broom becomes your weapon against spectral beasts and your key to unlocking new abilities. Explore the sprawling grounds surrounding the palace, a vibrant and interconnected world brimming with secrets. Each corner holds a potential puzzle, a hidden upgrade, or a quirky ghost with a tale to tell.

Meet the colorful cast of banished spirits, each with their own unique story of demise and eternal punishment. Befriend them, learn their secrets, and then head to The Sinner’s Inn, a lively haunt where you can upgrade your broom and gear, customizing your playstyle to suit your cleaning strategy.

The gameplay blends the exploration of a Metroidvania with the puzzle-solving elements of a Zelda game. Conquer epic boss battles, clean ruined dungeons, and solve environmental puzzles to unlock new abilities and expand your explorable area. Mix and match your upgrades to create your perfect cleaning arsenal, and uncover the secrets of this lively, interconnected afterlife.

*Crypt Custodian* isn’t just about cleaning; it’s about uncovering a conspiracy, forging unlikely friendships, and ultimately, plotting your grand return to the palace. So grab your broom, prepare for some spectral scrubbing, and get ready for a purrfectly unholy adventure.
