Pluto, a mischievous cat who has died, is banished from the afterlife’s palace and sentenced to work as its janitor. Instead of sticking to his chores, he explores the grounds and meets other ghosts living beyond the palace.
Explore interconnected areas, fight creatures with a broom, jump across platforms, solve puzzles, and uncover secrets. New paths and shortcuts lead through ruined dungeons and other regions of the afterlife.
Defeating bosses and completing challenges unlock abilities that open up more of the map. Collect upgrades, mix and match charms to shape your playstyle, and visit the Sinner’s Inn to talk with fellow ghosts and improve your gear.
Recurring praise in the supplied reviews centers on smooth movement and combat, charming visuals and characters, and exploration filled with secrets and upgrades. Many reviewers also appreciate that difficulty and accessibility options, quick travel, and forgiving failure make the adventure approachable. Some players found the challenge too light or combat repetitive, and a number felt the map was hard to navigate or the adventure ended too soon.
