ANIMAL WELL
Explore a dense, interconnected labyrinth, and unravel its many secrets. Collect items to manipulate your environment in surprising and meaningful ways. Encounter beautiful and unsettling creatures, as you attempt to survive what lurks in the dark. There is more than what you see.
Why on Deck
Animal Well is one of those rare games where the mystery is the whole point, and playing it in a dimly lit room on the Deck makes it genuinely unsettling in a way sitting at a desk just doesn’t. It’s a Metroidvania built for slow, deliberate exploration (no rush, no timer), which fits portable play perfectly. The pixel art is stunning on the OLED model in particular. You’ll find secrets weeks after you think you’ve seen everything. There’s always more.
