Summary

What lurks beneath the surface of this deceptively minimalistic adventure? In Animal Well there is more than what you see. Explore a dense interconnected labyrinth, and unravel its many secrets. Collect items to manipulate your environment in surprising and meaningful ways. Encounter creatures both beautiful and unsettling, and try to survive what lurks in the dark.

Storyline

It is dark. It is lonely. You don't belong in this world. It's not that it’s a hostile world... it's just... not yours. As you uncover its secrets, the world grows on you. It takes on a feel of familiarity, yet you know that you've only probed the surface. The more you discover, the more you realize how much more there is to discover. Secrets leading to more secrets. You recall the feeling of zooming closer and closer in on a very high-resolution photo. As you hone your focus, the world betrays its secrets.
