Explore a beautiful and unsettling world in Animal Well on PlayStation 5, a stunning pixel-art adventure where curiosity is your only weapon. As a small, newly-hatched creature, you must navigate a non-linear, puzzle-filled well, using clever items to manipulate your environment and survive encounters with its ghostly animal guardians. This is a true Metroidvania focused purely on exploration and discovery, with a deep, dark world full of secrets hidden just beneath the surface. Every item has multiple uses, and every puzzle has a solution if you're brave enough to find it.
- 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.
- Languages – In-game text languages English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish.
