Animal Well

Picked this up as it was discounted on Steam and I’m feeling very intelligent after playing Blue Prince. I thought there was a thread but I guess not.

 

Anyway, I booted it up to try it out and 90 minutes disappeared very quickly. Artistically, the game is a knockout. The mysterious animal theme is a very nice. Now that I’m thinking about it, the mysterious atmosphere of the game reminds me of Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP, even though they have nothing else in common (I haven’t thought about that game in over 10 years). The subtle visual and sound effects are very well done too.

 

Gameplay wise, it’s kind of like a compact metroidvania with a focus on puzzles.

6 hours in now. I have one of the four flame thingies that I guess will do something when I get them all, Dark Souls style.

 

Not much to say other than that the game is very good. Whether it will be a “classic” like Fez or Hollow Knight, or just another very good indie game like Cocoon or Tunic, time will tell.
