Ep. 40 - Crypt Custodian feat. Matt Storm

2 hours 37 minutes

Crypt Custodian, developed by Kyle Thompson, is a touching and adorable metroidvania. You play as Pluto, a little cat who has just arrived in the afterlife, after a tragic end cut short his cozy life with his human family. Some accidental shenanigans lead to him being banned to spend all of eternity cleaning up trash from the outskirts of the underworld by Kendra, the guardian of the afterlife. Now Pluto has to fight corrupted beings, sweep up trash and make friends in order to make it back into Kendra's palace.

In Episode 40 of No Small Games, Kate and Emily welcome Matt Storm to the show! Matt hosts a couple of gaming podcasts, including the "Fun" and Games Podcast, and is a self-described metroidvania "sicko." Together, the three discuss their experiences with this heartwarming (and occasionally heartbreaking) game. You'll hear their thoughts on this impressively large metroidvania map, the combat mechanics, and of course their favorite characters.
