Animal Well is a puzzle platformer with seeming infinite depth. The main game will take anywhere between five and 15 hours to complete, but once the credits roll another more cryptic and mysterious game begins. I spent nearly 30 hours with Animal Well for my review and I'm still discovering new things.
It's an intimidating prospect on paper, but overall, this isn't a difficult game, chiefly because it relies more on close observation and problem solving than it does on reflex-oriented combat. Still, there are some things worth knowing that aren't very obvious in the opening hours of Animal Well. Here are some things I wish I'd known from the beginning.
