YouTube content creator Dunkey has revealed that Animal Well will be the first game to produce under his publishing label, Bigmode.
Developed by Billy Basso, Animal Well was originally revealed during last June’s Day of the Devs stream, where it had been described as a “gorgeous pixel art action-adventure about exploring a surreal labyrinth populated by all manner of strange creatures.”
While the sport was originally announced without a publisher connected to the project, last night (January 8) Bigmode Games announced that Animal Well will be the company’s first published game.
“A pixelated wonder rendered in intricate audio and visual detail,” reads the publisher’s newly-launched page for Animal Well. “Hatch out of your flower and spelunk through the beautiful and sometimes haunting realm of Animal Well. Encounter lively creatures big and small, helpful and ominous while you discover unconventional upgrades and unravel the well's secrets. This can be a fantastic experience which will make you laugh in fear, surprise, or delight.”
Animal Well does not actually have a release date, however we've got to preview the sport this past year and stated that when it does launch, maybe it's a “game of the year contender.”
The preview added that Animal Well puts an emphasis on letting players explore its world without having to be pushed in specific directions.
“There is a strong tension not to at all knowing where you're going or what you're supposed to be doing,” reads our preview. “You may go left and find a puzzle area you aren't quite sure what to do with at first, then maybe you'll decrease to a lower screen and figure out a segment leading you to a key or an item which you can use within the aforementioned area.”
In other gaming news, the developer of Redfall has claimed the upcoming vampire game will have more that is similar to Far Cry than Left 4 Dead.
