Clean up as a cat
Available to purchase, download and play today on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, Crypt Custodian sees you playing as a little cat (yes, again) named Pluto. This little guy has just passed away, left to roam the Afterlife’s Palace, getting claws into all manner of things as the new janitor. Yeah, the afterlife needs cleaning up too!
Also present on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC, in Crypt Custodian you’ll get to explore this vast land, meeting up with others, uncovering secrets, delving into the smallest of nooks and crannies. Why? Well, it’s not long before you hear of a priceless treasure hidden within.
As per the devs own words, Crypt Custodian ‘captures a similar sense of heartwarming storytelling filled with quirky characters and humor and mixes such with incredibly tight and responsive gameplay, rewarding unlockables, and beautiful lush worlds‘. Throw in a cast of characters that are nothing short of charming, as well as upgradeable gear and skills, tons of unlockables, plenty of puzzles through an interconnected world, epic battles with bosses and more, and this should be a game that most definitely appeals.
