Heya,After months of development, I'm incredibly excited to announce that Critternauts will officially launch on Steam on August 6, 2026. The new Release Date Trailer is now up on the sotre page.

Currently I'm meticulously hunting down bugs, balacing battles, gear and spells, as well as sneaking in a few extra last-minute side-quests to make the world feel as alive as possible.

The game's tracking to be around a 15-20-hour journey packed with secrets, unique world exploration skills, and a global mystery that I can't wait for you to uncover.
