- Reposted by Dan AdelmanSurprise! We're releasing a new physical version of Animal Well for Switch + PS5! Includes complete patches on disc/cart (incl SW2 compat update) for our new pressing. Mass retail ver. and exclusive variant cover by Derek Yu on our site. ❤️ Go, go, go! www.lostincult.co.uk/animalwell
- To be clear, it's more than just a compatibility patch. The patch lets the game detect when it's running on Switch 2 and turns on a bunch of lighting effects that had to be nerfed for the Switch 1. So it's practically a native Switch 2 game in a Switch 1 package

- Reposted by Dan AdelmanAnimal Well is one of the most unique Metroidvania experiences. It’s also like 40MB on PC. Not GB… MB… and it somehow has more shit in it than any game over 100GB I couldn’t recommend it enough. If you have an OLED monitor or a Steam Deck OLED this game is a no brainer

- Reposted by Dan AdelmanJust got off playing Animal Well for the first time, and it’s… Phenomenal. An absolutely unique experience that goes so much farther than I could imagine. Every mechanic is refined to the point where I haven’t even found all the uses for a single button, let alone a frisbee.
