Animal Well, an upcoming platform video game from indie developer Shared Memory, is confirmed to be the first game published by BIGMODE, a new publishing company founded by a popular YouTuber known as videogamedunkey.
The company was launched in September 2022 with the aim to support indie games "made with substance, quality, creativity, and fun in mind." The first of such projects will be Animal Well, an atmospheric Metroidvania where players have to explore a dense, interconnected labyrinth unraveling its secrets.
The game is being created by solo game developer Billy Basso, aka Shared Memory, using a custom engine/renderer built specifically for pixel art on modern hardware. It is currently planned to release for PC and PlayStation 5.
