About the Game

A Dangerous Modern World Awaits

From the bustling neon-lit metropolises of Tokyo or London to crumbling, forgotten ruins of Greece or Egypt, lead a group of four lifelong friends on a global journey that blurs the line between modern reality and ancient myth. As you uncover the truth behind the mysterious Critternauts, you'll realize that the world is far more dangerous than you  ever imagined.

Classic JRPG Depth With a Modern Twist

Critternauts is a turn-based 2D JRPG where you control a party of four. Explore a diverse array of environments - from modern-day cities and dense jungles to huge mountains peaks - to solve a great world-spanning mystery. But you aren't alone. You must contend with dangerous critters and three rival factions, each driven by their own hidden agendas to solve the secret first.
