Wholesome adventure arrives on PC, Nintendo Switch soon in Q3 2025
MADRID, SPAIN – Nov. 21, 2024 – Everdeep Aurora, the lonely, desolate, yet hope-filled 2D adventure developed by Nautilus Games and published by Ysbryd Games, reveals new corners of a vast underground world in a never-before-seen trailer aired today at The MIX Fall showcase. Everdeep Aurora drills down onto Windows PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch in Q3 2025.
Venture through civilization’s subterranean refuge as Shell, a little cat on a mission to reunite with her mother after catastrophic meteor showers separate their family. Drill deeper and deeper into the Earth’s surface, creating platforming opportunities in the procedurally generated rocky tiles. Discover underground lakes and landforms, beautiful temples, dusty ruins, and mysterious laboratories.
Forge new friendships with more than 20 of the Everdeep’s charismatic citizens and fulfill quests to strengthen their bonds. Find peace in Aster’s hidden garden, power up Shell’s drill with Remulus’ blacksmith skills, and find a familiar face among the Everdeep’s twists and turns with Ribbert’s guidance. Find comfort in each denizen’s musical theme as the underground world grows more lonesome.
Everdeep Aurora takes a pixel out of the Nintendo Entertainment System’s code with its square interface, limited color palette, and retro graphics and sound design. Stunning visuals like smoothly animated scenes and color-grading transitions accentuate the vintage aesthetic and captivating visual storytelling of Shell’s adventure.
“Choosing a limiting factor such as the small color palette available to the NES forced us to challenge ourselves and create a whimsical world with built-in character,” said Mikel Ojea, co-founder of Nautilus Games. “We hope explorers find themselves in a simpler era as they immerse themselves in the Everdeep.”
Everdeep Aurora arrives on Windows PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch in Q3 2025. To learn more about Everdeep Aurora, please visit the official website, follow Nautilus Games on Twitter and Bluesky, and search #EverdeepAurora on social media.
