Crypt Custodian, a top-down metroidvania-meets-zeldalike from veteran developer Kyle Thompson and publisher Top Hat Studios, Inc. will be available on August 27th for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC. Watch the release date reveal trailer for Crypt Custodian!

Grab your trusty broom and play as Pluto - a mischievous cat who has just died and landed in the Afterlife's Palace. After a disastrous meeting with the Afterlife Guardian, Kendra, you end up being immediately banished and sentenced to be the afterworld's janitor... FOREVER! Hang out with other doomed ghosts, battle beasts, and explore a vast, expansive landscape filled with curious and fun denizens, hidden secrets, and seemingly infinite nooks, crannies, and curiousities. As you explore more of the Afterlife's diverse realms, you start to hear rumors of a priceless treasure hidden deep within the palace: for those who have difficulty moving on, could there be... a way to still communicate with the living?

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.

Crypt Custodian launches August 27th on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC.
