Crypt Custodian Sweep the afterworld, make ghost friends

Pluto is a mischievous cat who has just died. One disastrous meeting with Kendra, the Afterlife Guardian, later, he is banished from the palace and sentenced to clean the afterworld. Forever. The broom is both punishment and weapon: you sweep away filth for currency, swat ghosts and beasts, and learn a small set of moves (jumps, dashes, a special attack) that stay easy to read. Combat is forgiving rather than demanding, and death carries no penalty, so a lost fight costs you nothing but a moment. You sweep, you fight, you move on. It is janitorial work with a sword's rhythm, minus the stress.

The grounds around the palace are vast, interconnected and nonlinear: you form your own path, and new abilities unlock old corners of the map. Fast travel works from anywhere, so backtracking never becomes a chore. Secrets hide at every corner, and if a missing collectible stumps you, the shop sells a marker that points it out on your map. Each region brings its own twist, like puzzles and fights built around a new mechanic. The hand-drawn art stays cute and colorful even when the afterlife turns melancholy, and the music shifts with every area. One warning from long runs: later areas can start to feel samey if you play for completion.
