My dark fairy tale metroidvania Well Dweller is OUT NOW!! It's available on PC, Switch 1+2, PS5, and Xbox. I'm so excited for it to finally be released!
Metroid & Vania are back
No contest
When Silksong announced its window, we delayed our Metroidvania by a year so Aeterna Lucis could have its own moment after years of hard work. Revealing our final release date on Sept 10th!
Two weeks from today, my new metroidvania Well Dweller will release on PC and all consoles!
Well Dweller is an absolute gem. Go play it now!
(Metroid Ravenous Animation) She's ready for the FEAST!
All launching within the next four months.
Will you be picking this up next month?
