Time to revisit one of our favorite games of last year's PAX!

Animal Well is a Metroidvanialike game that has you guiding an amorphous blob through a beautiful, expansive, and secretfilled labyrinth. In this wideranging and indepth interview, we catch up with the game's sole developer, Billy Basso, to discuss the last year of development, the appeal of building your own game engine, and more!
