AUGUST 8th, PHILADELPHIA: Deep within the forest, at the bottom of a well, lives the only creature brave enough to challenge the Queen. Top Hat Studios, Inc. is pleased to announce WELL DWELLER, a new dark, bizarre, twisted fairy-tale metroidvania by Kyle Thompson (Crypt Custodian, Islets). Play as Glimmer – a tiny bird armed with a matchstick – who must burn the wicked queen to save his family before they become part of her royal gown.
Venture forth into a whimsical but morbid fairy-tale landscape, and battle terrifying beasts whilst gaining new abilities to expand your world. Discover secrets, mysteries, and the riddles that rot in the underbelly of this wretched queendom.
The dark nooks and crannies throughout shelter powerful trinkets that are key to survival, and a cast of charming characters and allies – all trying to make their own way through the Queen’s twisted world – await befriending along your journey. Go camping with Ilda, a tiny mouse on the run from the Queen’s grasp. Explore an abandoned castle with Looter, a mysterious scavenger who searches the queendom for the best wares to steal.
