Description
Hatch from your flower and spelunk through the beautiful and sometimes haunting world of Animal Well, a pixelated wonder rendered in intricate audio and visual detail.
Updated with enhanced visual effects when played on Nintendo Switch™ 2.
Explore - Illuminate the Dark
• A world of puzzle boxes with a profound atmosphere
• Light candles for safety and gradually fill out your map
• Nonlinear -- explore and collect items in whatever order you choose
Solve puzzles - Observation is rewarded
• Enemies, environment, and items interact in surprising and systemic ways
• All items have multiple uses
• Learn how innocuous details can become meaningful
Survive - Tread Carefully
• Assess for yourself what is safe and dangerous
• Focus on tension and suspense rather than action
• You are disempowered, but can make clever use of your environment and items
