Developer Billy Basso didn’t expect players to crack open the game’s secrets quite so quickly.

Billy Basso is a protean talent. He built his own game engine and did AFAIK all the work on Animal Well, which on release was closer to its vision than any of the critically acclaimed games I’ve played from this decade.

I wish I could cloister myself for three weeks just to play AW. It is rich.

I was telling a bunch of friends to not be surprised when Animal Well ended up on a bunch of GOTY lists.

And they were like, “Nahh” until they played it when they were like, “Ahhhh.”

From top to bottom it’s one of the most interesting and well put together games I’ve played in so long.

The “owner” of Animal Well’s publishing company, Big Mode, is a well-known YouTuber called videogamedunkey who makes gaming-related comedy video. This is a reference to one of his videos

I guess I’m not as big of a dunkus fan as I thought
