Our take on Beasts of Maravilla Island
Rather than centering an adventure on combat or treasure, this game makes wildlife observation and photography the main activities. Progress includes drawing out animal behaviors and selecting pictures for a photobook, while puzzles rely on cooperation with creatures.
What is Beasts of Maravilla Island?
Play as Marina Montez, an aspiring wildlife photographer exploring the magical ecosystems of Maravilla Island.
Run and climb through the Singing Jungle, Glimmering River, and Painted Plateau to find creatures and plants, observe their behaviors, and photograph them. Puzzles involve working with animals, including playing hide-and-seek with an otter-crocodile and helping a bird-monkey find a match. More than 50 creatures and plants have distinct appearances and behaviors. Photography controls allow changes to the camera angle, height, and zoom. Multiple pictures can be taken of each animal, then selected for Marina’s grandfather’s photobook. The story presents this exploration and photography as a way to restore belief in the island’s magic.
