Absolutely superb game. I discovered Kyle Thompson's games through this one and worked my way back through them all. So great to see the scope and skill evolve but Crypt Custodian truly feels like a crystalisation of everything they've been trying to achieve. This game ticks just about all my boxes and I absolutely adore it. I would buy it over and over again, every penny into Kyle's pocket is a penny spent for...

Very charming metroidvania, even if on the easy side. A bit short, but the level design is solid.

Amazing art style, simple yet good story, repetitive yet fun gameplay. All around was worth the money and experience, will be checking out the developers other games for sure after this one.
