April 15, 2021 Sean Davies 1 min read

Beasts of Maravilla Island is launching on Switch, PS4, Xbox, and Steam this June.

I’ve been keeping my eye on Beasts of Maravilla Island for a while. I first spotted it on the publisher Whitethorne Games’ discord channel and was bowled over by the art work and blend of genres that it appeared to contain. Part fantasy adventure, part Pokemon snap, this game a 3D adventure game where you take on the role of a young wildlife photographer who traverses Maravilla Island’s magical ecosystems to discover extraordinary creatures, learn their behaviours, and, most importantly, photograph their majesty.

Here’s a list of features:

Take on the role of an aspiring photographer and embark on your journey to fill your grandfather’s photobook with the magic of Maravilla Island.
Traverse a beautifully unique world freely by running and climbing to discover and engage with the local wildlife.
Includes over 50 extraordinary creatures and plants to photograph, each with their own appearance and behaviour such as the Sparkling Lamp lily, the Maravillan Mango Kakapo and the Prism-Winged Butterfly.
Complete puzzles that rely on your cooperation with animals, including playing hide and seek with an Otter Crocodile or helping a Bird Monkey find his perfect match.
Explore three distinctive ecological zones, the Singing Jungle, the Glimmering River, and the Painted Plateau- each containing their own unique flora and fauna to uncover.
Put your photography skills to action by taking breath taking shots, however you like! Choose an angle and adjust the height and zoom to get the perfect shot of Maravilla’s many mysteries.
Curate your photo book to your liking by capturing multiple photos of each animal and choosing the best ones to showcase.
