Game profile

Animal Well

A 2D puzzle-platformer in pixel art, where you explore a large interconnected map of rooms full of secrets. There is little hand-holding: you find items, work out how they change the environment and avoid creatures in the dark. The mood is eerie but also cute, and the game rewards curiosity. Is it your kind of game?
