Well Dweller official reveal trailer
You play as Glimmer, a tiny bird with a matchstick, with a goal to burn the wicked queen and save his kidnapped siblings. It’s a grim but charming tale set deep in a forest at the bottom of a well.
Expect gloomy ruins, creepy castles, and a cast of loveable weirdos. There’s Ilda, a runaway mouse camper. Looter, a sneaky scavenger. And a bunch of scattered siblings just waiting to be found.
Combat is matchstick-based and customisable with trinkets. You’ll light up the darkness, gain new abilities, and uncover secrets in a decaying kingdom.
If Islets or Crypt Custodian grabbed you, Well Dweller might be your next favourite. Wishlist it now on Steam.
