About
Well Dweller is a dark fairy tale Metroidvania made by the creators of Crypt Custodian and Islets.
Glimmer in the Dark
Nestled deep within a dense forest, at the base of an old well, dwells a solitary creature with extraordinary courage – the only one daring enough to challenge the wicked queen.

A Charming Cast of Characters
As I tread through the decaying remnants of a once bustling world, I encounter an enchanting crew of survivors eking out their existence. Join me on a camping trip with Ilda, a diminutive mouse fleeing from the claws of a ruthless queen. Delve into the mysteries of an abandoned castle alongside Looter, a shadowy figure rummaging the kingdom for valuable loot. And embark on a quest to find and reconnect with my hidden siblings, who were whisked away by a deranged hunter one fateful night.
A Wretched Kingdom
Ignite a matchstick to bring light and help fight battles around the world. Gather various items to enhance your skills, and combine them to personalize your gaming experience.
