Revealed with a summer launch window in this year's Guerilla Collective showcase by publisher Top Hat Studios, Crypt Custodian looks to be developer Kyle Thompson's opus - a vivid evolution in terms of presentation, mechanics, and complexity from his prior critically acclaimed titles. Building off of the successes of Sheepo and Islets, 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.
As you explore the afterlife, you'll meet and befriend a charming cast of characters. Meet the other bad ghosts exiled outside of Afterlife Guardian Kendra's grand Palace. Learn how they died, and what caused them to face eternal banishment as well! There's a lot to learn from your animal friends - and lots of unlockables they'll help you earn on top! Plus, head on over to the local haunt - The Sinner's Inn - to chat with the ghosts you meet, buy items, and upgrade both your gear and your skills.
Along your way to confront Kendra, you'll complete puzzles, battle epic bosses, and clean your way through ruined dungeons in order to collect new upgrades and abilities. Customize your play style by mix-and-matching your upgrades and use your collected abilities to expand your world. Upgrades not only help with exploring the world, but also with expanding your combat style! Combat in Crypt Custodian is tight and fast-paced, based on a fundamental system of dodging and quick movements combined with rapid but strategic attacking.
The world of Crypt Custodian is lush, vivid, and beautiful - biomes are interconnected, varied, and teeming with life and activity. Ranging from weeping forests, to an amusement park where the ride never ends, a neon crest where reality switches dimensions with every jump, and... someone's neglected basement (don't ask what's been growing down there), you'll traverse a vast landscape filled with secrets that hide in every corner. Form your own path and discover the afterlife's many curiosities at your own pace.
Crypt Custodian will have a global launch, and launch with support for English, French, German, Spanish, Portugese, Russian, Simplified & Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
