The joy of getting lost in Animal Well’s cryptic world


It’s confusing, but in a good way.

Your list of items, for example, will include things like a Slinky and a yo-yo, which you have to use in inventive ways to flip switches, distract creatures, and progress through the game. At one point, I got frustrated and started tossing my yo-yo around wildly, only to discover that it had a very notable effect on a nearby rat that helped me progress. It’s a world that feels alive: grass and vines blow with the breeze, and bioluminescent worms provide just a hint of light in otherwise dark, oppressive caverns.
