Custodian: Beginning of the End earns a 0/10 woke score by delivering pure Metroidvania survival and exploration without identity politics or social messaging.
Custodian: Beginning of the End is a 2021 indie 2D pixel-art Metroidvania platformer built around exploration, secret-hunting, and body-modification upgrades inside a conventional post-apocalyptic world.
The story centers on a bloody war and a corrupting fog that transforms survivors into monsters, with the player controlling a mysterious wanderer from the Order of the Custodians who safeguards the last refuge within the World Tree. Store descriptions and available materials focus exclusively on survival, combat, caution, and mystery-solving, with no character customization systems, romance mechanics, pronoun options, or identity-focused narratives present. The tiny independent developer has issued no statements regarding DEI initiatives, activism, or representation goals, and the title shows no controversies, review-bombing, or critic-audience reception gaps connected to progressive themes. This absence of social commentary or identity politics keeps the experience centered on its core survival and platforming elements without external messaging.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
