• Short FAQ Before Release - 2 August 2026

  So what kind of game is this? It's a traditional JRPG, which means there's a somewhat linear story you can follow while you gear up, explore, find secrets, do side quests, grind if you want, etc. You'll learn new spells and skills as you level up and beat mini-bosses (critters). You can backtrack and use those to open up new areas or find powerful loot. All zones are full of random encounters, some rare, some pretty common, and most enemies have rare drops. And so on, just like in old classic JRPGs. Is this fantasy or sci-fi? Neither, it is set on modern-day Earth, full of ancient mystery themes and a tiny bit of fantasy and sci-fi. But no medieval castles or spaceships. Are you using the default RPG Maker assets, or is it custom? Both. One of the early zones (and the starting hub) was made using default assets, but the rest is different. Some of them are completely different and custom…

• The Critternauts Demo Is Now Available! - 16 May 2026

  The free public demo for Critternauts is now live! Critternauts is a retro-style JRPG in a modern setting, featuring turn-based combat, a world-spanning main quest and exploration, ton of side quests and optional content, loot, a tiny bit of metroidvania (you can unlock special skills to access certain areas all over the game), creature hunting (learn unique spells from critters!) and powerful bosses. In this standalone demo, you can play through the game’s first mission shortly after the prologue. Join the Critternauts alongside their new remote android ally Archie as they investigate mysterious Critter activity in a coastal town in Italy. While searching for clues connected to the disappearance of the main character's parents, the team begins uncovering something much bigger hiding beneath the surface... The demo contains roughly one hour (30 mins if you rush it) of gameplay and inclu…

• Welcome to Critternauts – A Modern-Day Retro JRPG - 3 March 2026

  So what is this game?When I started working on Critternauts, I knew I wanted to capture that specific feeling of 90s SNES classics, but with a few twists from the modern games I love. I've also been sneaking in some DNA from metroidvanias and even immersive sims (but nothing crazy, it's a traditional JRPG after all).What does that actually mean for the gameplay? Well, it’s still a traditional JRPG at its heart: you’ll push the story forward and gear up your party as you unlock new zones. But I’m designing the world to be less "one-and-done". As you gain new abilities, you can head back to earlier areas to poke around. You'll find that many of those old paths now lead to hidden loot, secrets, side quests, or puzzles you couldn't solve before. I’m making sure there’s plenty of endgame 'extras' for those of you who really like to uncover every secret. Roadmap:I'll plan to release a demo so…
