Our take on Platypus Adventures
Its defining detail is the Australian setting: a platypus-led journey through rainforests, beaches, caves, mountains, rivers and the outback, with native animals and landscapes shaping the adventure.
What is Platypus Adventures?
Platypus Adventures is a third-person action-adventure set in a natural world inspired by Australian animals and landscapes.
The story follows Platy across rainforests, beaches, caves, mountains, rivers and the outback while investigating a cosmic mystery. Players swim, climb, swing and slide through environmental obstacles, dangerous encounters and enemy-filled areas. Exploration includes villages, wildlife, hidden treasures, equipment and bush tucker.
