"...like Tunic, Outer Wilds, or The Witness."

You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.

"It's like Tunic, Outer Wilds or The Witness" This is the most efficient sentence you could have possibly said to shoot this game straight to #1 on my wishlist. I'm a sucker for Metroid-brainias.

The Knack franchise took a bold new direction.

May 9th? That's the day Animal Well comes out!

[Imperial_Squid]

"It's like Tunic, Outer Wilds or The Witness", insta buy no questions asked, clear my schedule and inject that puzzley goodness straight into my veins

[wewereleftdead]

Finally, the world's second strand type game

Note to self; Don’t drink the tap water at Jerry Garcia’s house.

They say it's like a crossover between Halo 2 and Halo 3

[Smartieboi]

You Can very much tell the knack 2 influence in this title

Marty's love of a little guy in a big world strikes again! Great review and definitely a game I'll be checking out.

It blows my mind how when Dunkeynfirst announced he was getting into publishing, there was a sizeable group of people who thought he would have a negative impact. And it's so incredibly heartwarming to see how wrong those people were. The guys really smart and he's got really good taste. Dudes been gaming his entire life and understands the medium and what's special about it.

Still waiting for my loaf of Wonder Bread for adding it to my wishlist.

First Hades II and now Animal Well. What a good week! Well definitely be picking up this game!

[TheBrianJ]

I've been excited for this game. At PAX last year I saw a booth set up for it and decided to try it because of the Dunkey connection, and I was instantly hooked. Great gameplay and incredibly, incredibly atmospheric.

[Psychadelico]

It really makes you feel like Dunkey and Leah will have an amazing impact on the indie landscape

[arnet]

So you're saying it's a MASTAPIECE?!

[jkdeadite]

I was not aware of this channel before this video, but what a nice surprise to hear Marty's voice! Subbed.

[eldibs]

I'm glad Big Mode came out of the gates strong with their first published title. I'm looking forward to trying it when I get off work tonight.

Great review Marty! Great timing too, as i just got an email from steam saying it was ready to buy, and i wondered if its actually any good, outside of the hype, visuals and Dunkey-ness!
Gotta admit though, that loud background music had me pausing the video a few times cos i thought my neighbours were drilling the walls or running some sort of machinery haha!
EDIT - Wow, only a 33mb download! Thats not something you see every day. My crappy internet thanks Animal Well.

Genuinely so excited and glad that this exists. Thanks for the coverage, Marty
