Information games really are such an amazing genre. Honestly, I think it's probably one of the best video game genres out there, as it showcases how games can, as interactive media, tell stories in a way unique to the medium.
And so!! Type Help!

Play this game.

No, really, play this game! It's a fantastic information game, it's free AND it's playable in-browser!

Among other information games (that I know of at least) the gameplay is most akin to Her Story, having you search for specific files using a very basic computer interface, but the story itself veers pretty far from that.
I won't detail much of it since its a short game and figuring things out is great part of the fun, but it's a pretty gripping mystery with lots of the trappings of the genre: an isolated mansion, a decently big cast... it's all there, and it's written pretty well!
I was genuinely surprised at how many little 'tricks' the dev left in for the player to figure out, little insignificant details that have you going "Ah!!" when you figure them out. Not all of them are related to the main mystery, of course, but things still flow in a way that even when you're stuck you'll still be figuring something out.
There were a couple of moments where I felt genuinely lost though, I can't deny. And, annoying as it was to have to rely on trial and error, the game's mechanics make it not as frustrating as it could be.

The final resolution to everything was very inventive too! I... honestly am not sure I liked it much as a conclusion to a mystery. But it's something that definitely sticks with you, even if its not as well explored as I personally wish it was, AND. It's definitely something that could only really be achieved with this level of intrigue by being told to you, the player, the way that it is.

This game's just.... lovely. Really, a lovely experience all the way through!
I'd played the dev's last game Islets before and liked it well enough, a fun if a touch unpolished little metroidvania, but!! You could feel the care that was put into the game.
I'm happy to say that the same level of care and attention is felt in Crypt Custodian!!

Crypt is a top down metroidvania, which surprisingly isn't that common of a genre. There aren't thaaat many movement upgrades to find, which is not really what you usually see in indie metroidvanias I've found. But the upgrades that are there, while simple, still make the experience interesting the whole way through.
The combat's fun too! A touch frantic and mashy maybe, but I wasn't expecting a deep system from this. It's a pretty fun mix of top down action and shmup dodging, and it delivered more than enough for the experience.

I think the highlight here are the vibes and the story. Crypt Custodian has you playing as a recently deceased cat that's locked outside "The Palace" (aka he's stuck in the bad afterlife) and tasked to being essentially a janitor. Through the game you're meeting other ghosts and making friends, finding out a bit of their lives, some happy some very sad, but it's never too much, and the game never lets the mood get too dour.
Honestly I think this might be a pretty decent game to play when you're down. It gives you the thoughts of the people you love still looking out for you even when the situations are tough, and even when they're too far away to be phisically present. It's not necessarily a 'happy' game, but its for sure a comforting game.
