MinnMax Show channels 16-bit nostalgia with its 2025 roundup of games you might’ve missed, featuring Everdeep Aurora, the lonely, desolate, yet hope-filled 2D adventure developed by Nautilus Games and published by Ysbryd Games.
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.
Return to the nostalgia of consoles past with Everdeep Aurora’s retro graphics and sound design, limited color palette, and square interface inspired by 16-bit aesthetics. Fully immerse in the visual storytelling of Shell’s world through smoothly animated cutscenes and satisfying color-grading transitions, differentiating the Everdeep’s biomes.
