'Well Dweller' Is A Twisted Fairy-Tale Metroidvania,Coming To Nintendo Switch And PC In 2026 - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Aug. 8, 2025 @ 2:40 p.m. PDT

Well Dweller is a dark fairy-tale metroidvania, full of charming characters living in a wretched kingdom!

Deep within the forest, at the bottom of a well, lives the only creature brave enough to challenge the Queen.

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.


Many more encounters and discoveries await along the way, punctuated by beautiful, hand-drawn medieval-style fairy-tale illustrations.

Not every fable or fairly-tale has a happy ending, and an imposing collection of beast and royally-sized challenges await. Step into the tiny shoes (or feathers) of Glimmer, and perhaps, just perhaps, you’ll be able to re-unite all your sheltered siblings, snatched from the nest one night in a turn of events that lead to the coming of an unlikely, little hero....

Light up your matchstick to illuminate the world and aid in combat. Collect trinkets to upgrade your abilities, and mix-and-match them to customize your game play. Solve puzzles, defeat vicious bosses, and forge your path to the queens quarters to save your family.

Well Dweller is coming to Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) in 2026.
