MADRID, SPAIN – June 7, 2025 – Everdeep Aurora, the lonely, desolate, yet hope-filled 2D adventure developed by Nautilus Games and published by Ysbryd Games, maps out a path to Windows PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch on Thursday, July 10, 2025, as seen in today’s Wholesome Direct showcase.
After apocalyptic meteor showers drive civilization underground, young cat Shell finds herself alone on the destroyed planet’s surface. Emboldened by a letter from her missing mother, she sets off on a journey into the vast Everdeep, trusty drill in paw, to reunite with her family. Bore through procedurally generated stone tiles to create platforming opportunities as Shell’s journey leads to underground landforms, gardens, mansions, and mysteries.
Meet more than 20 of the Everdeep’s charming denizens, each with distinct musical themes, and fulfill their quests to earn their trust. Purchase new tools from Viktor’s pawn shop, but beware of Mur’s intention – despite their goofy nature and heart of gold, they might be just tricking Shell into doing their work. As Shell drills deeper and her newfound friends’ tunes fade from earshot, find comfort in the bonds they’ve created across a combat-free adventure.
Return to the nostalgia of consoles past with Everdeep Aurora’s retro graphics and sound design, limited color palette, and square interface inspired by the Nintendo Entertainment System. Fully immerse in the visual storytelling of Shell’s world through smoothly animated cutscenes and satisfying color-grading transitions differentiating the Everdeep’s biomes.
“When thinking about how to stage Shell's journey underground into the confines of the Everdeep, we were confronted with the task of dreaming up a whole original civilization. We had to ask ourselves how its inhabitants would go about their lives in this new, unexplored home,” said Mikel Ojea, co-founder of Nautilus Games. “We ended up creating an extraordinary world that we’re proud to soon share with new explorers.”
Everdeep Aurora drills into Windows PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch on Thursday, July 10, for USD $19.99. It will support English, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese text.
