#Animal Well

[prokopetz]

You know, normally I'm strongly of the opinion that everything that's needed to solve puzzles in games – even optional or post-game puzzles – should be contained within the actual gameplay, and have little tolerance for stuff that wants you to, like, scan a QR code to get a secret Discord link for clues or whatnot, but I'm giving Animal Well a pass because "office printer which, when interacted with, sends a print job to your actual, physical printer, producing an origami diagram which must be correctly folded to yield a password" is extremely funny.

I've played these games recently this month and it was an emotional rollercoaster

what if we kissed in the capybara rest area shaped like a heart (and we were both capybaras)

I really want to pet them but I'd get exploded by their eye beams 😔

Animal Well! a collaborative illustration from me & @natalieriess

I wasn't expecting any games to reach the highs of Tunic's puzzle solving any time soon, but this game proved me wrong. Nat even hid a little puzzle in the background for those that have played the game.

This one was a fun one to do, I busted out the nib pen for the foreground elements and then used a soft 8b pencil for the background. Nat did the coloring and the sketch as usual, I think you can tell she had a lot of fun drawing the disc shrine, haha.

cool moment in the stream

When the game tells you nothing.

At this point I'm half-expecting that the heartfelt congratulatory voice recording from the developer in Animal Well's secret secret secret ending claiming that the puzzle you just solved wasn't designed to be solvable and assuring you that there's nothing more to find is a fakeout. Bonus points if the clues required to figure out the next layer of puzzles are somehow contained in the recording.
