Quick Answers
Well Dweller is a dark fairy-tale metroidvania by Kyle Thompson, published by Top Hat Studios. You play Glimmer, a tiny bird armed with a matchstick, exploring a rotted kingdom to kill the queen and rescue the siblings a hunter took.
Well Dweller released on September 22, 2026 for PC (Steam and GOG), Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and Xbox, with Xbox Game Pass access from day one.
The developer's estimate is roughly 10-14 hours for the main path. Completion guides put a full 100% cleanup around 15 hours, because 32 Trinkets, 50 Trinket Slots, 20 Spirits and the three story-page collections all count toward it.
No. Well Dweller is a single-player metroidvania - the Steam listing has no co-op or online mode - and it supports full controller play plus adjustable difficulty and comfort options.
