Developer Turns Darkness of Classic Fairy Tales into Video Game
Well Dweller will push you to the sides of famous stories you might not know about.
Kyle Thompson
You probably know that some fairy tales are not as sweet and innocent as we know them: that the prince did unspeakable things to Sleeping Beauty while she was unconscious, that Little Mermaid suffered and died because her beloved didn't love her back, and don't get me started on how young girls in those stories usually are.
If you want to see the dark side of fairy tales, you need to add Well Dweller by Kyle Thompson, the maker of Crypt Custodian, to your wishlist.
"Classic fairy tales are a contrast in themes since they are both child-like and also very dark and disturbing," the developer says, and you'll see the influence in his game.
"Play as Glimmer – a tiny bird armed with a matchstick – who must burn the wicked queen to save his family. Explore a dark fairy-tale landscape and befriend the charming characters who reside in the kingdom’s underbelly. Battle terrifying beasts and gain new abilities to expand your map. Solve puzzles, discover secrets, and unravel the mysteries that lie in this rotted kingdom."
