If you’re a fan of The Legend of Zelda, you’re going to want to keep an eye on the upcomingCrypt Custodian.
You assume the role of Pluto, a “mischievous cat who has just died, and landed in the afterlife’s palace”.

Before long, you’ll meet afterlife guardian Kendra but let’s just say the meeting doesn’t go too well.
Kendra decides to banish you from the palace, sentencing you to instead clean its grounds. This includes battling beasts, gaining new traversal methods, and discovering the afterlife’s secrets.
If you’ve playedTunic, that game is certainly springing to my mind when looking atCrypt Custodian’s gameplay - andTunicis also very upfront about itsThe Legend of Zeldainspirations.
Take a look atCrypt Custodianin action below.
“Meet and befriend all the other bad ghosts who live outside the palace. Learn how they died, and what caused them to face eternal banishment! And then head on over to the local haunt - The Sinner’s Inn - to chat with the ghosts you meet, and upgrade your gear,” the synopsis teases.

Crypt Custodianis packed with things to do, from completing puzzles to battling bosses.
Along the way, you’ll level up, gain new abilities and expand the map via exploration.
The game’s description says that you’ll be able to “form your own path” which, again, is making me think thatCrypt Custodianwill somewhat play similarly toTunic, allowing the player to figure out the lay of the land for themselves.
Crypt Custodianisn’t due to launch until later this year but you can now get a taste of what’s on offer thanks to a brand new demo over onSteam.
