Can you save a life?

Welcome to Creatures of Ava, a unique creature-saver game inviting you to explore a world brimming with wild beings. Instilling joy and wonder, they provide a unique bond that enables you to utilize their skills for traversing the planet and solving environmental challenges. Once peaceful creatures, they now succumb to an unknown infection driving them to behave aggressively, which makes your mission to save them an urgent necessity.

Exploration-driven Gameplay

The gameplay encourages curiosity-driven exploration of its distinct ecosystems—such as the colorful Nari jungle or mysterious Mâruba swamp—creating an interconnected world. With non-aggressive combat mechanics designed for healing rather than defeating and indigenous Flute melodies that you play to tame creatures, the game further highlights the creature-saver nature of the experience.

Meaningful Narrative

Step into the shoes of Vic, a 22-year-old nature adventurer as she navigates through the immersive expedition alongside Tabitha, a composed and astute researcher. Together, you confront the recurring infection—called “the withering” by the local race of Naam—threatening Ava’s inhabitants. The game's narrative, co-created by Rhianna Pratchett, is a journey of wonder and mystery but also discovery, leading to the revelation of the planet's captivating secrets.

Saving Through Understanding

Creatures of Ava is a game featuring a dense, populated world of rich ecosystems filled with creatures that play a vital role in the planet’s natural balance. It goes beyond traditional creature-related genres, offering a deeper understanding and connection with the things you’ll encounter on Ava. Once you come to understand the true meaning of the infection, you will be challenged to step out of the human-centric point of view and learn about the real toll it takes to preserve the primal beauty at the very roots of Ava.

After all, can you save something you don't understand?

  Creatures of Ava | Free Collectibles Update

  -- SPOILERS: This update reveals collectible locations! -- Hey Creatures Savers! We're excited to announce our latest addition to the Explorer Update - the Free Collectibles Update! This new feature is designed to help you uncover every secret Ava has to offer, but remember, it's entirely optional for those who prefer to discover everything on their own. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44913460/a3ac4e462b4975f9ad9ab62c51a5af68bba2749f.jpg Introducing the Scout Bot Building on the Explorer Update, we're introducing a new companion to join Vic and Tabitha on their mission - the Scout Bot! This helpful little robot is here to assist those of you who want to ensure you don't miss out on any of Ava's hidden treasures. How It Works Scout Bot Locations: You'll find Scout Bots at the end of each biome. Reveal Collectibles: Interact with a Scout Bot to reveal all missing collectible locations on your map for that biome. Detailed Map: Zoom in on your map to see the precise locations of undiscovered items. Reminder: Creature Respawns Don't forget, with the Explorer Update, creatures will respawn in areas you've already cleared. This ensures you can always complete puzzles and collect any items you might have missed on your first pass. We hope these new features enhance your exploration of Ava and help you uncover all the wonders our world has to offer. Whether you choose to use the Scout Bot or prefer to search every nook and cranny yourself, the choice is yours! Happy exploring, and thank you for your continued support! 💚 Biomes Maps {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44913460/c2d9829b5f91f4dc91fca665ff71d9d5cad59e87.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44913460/50813a7a69cace7dcc8146d96112fd7084f11c48.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44913460/a655f4460947c65b38343b72c647bcddb2010eec.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44913460/0ecd2c54a09493186dc86ed307953b52d2bf3356.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44913460/e1cc09b7ad19d06730ce09e35df70389c9dc4e2f.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44913460/2dc7dbb5a3df5db39214e8fb47cd6d40cae5c310.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/449134...

  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44913460/21c0692d46fbaa10ba39207cb6eb8f2f413af998.jpg Hey Creatures Savers! 🦕 We’ve just released the Explorer Update, that adds multiple improvements and some major design changes into Creatures of Ava. We wanted to address your feedback regarding creature respawns and missing collectibles. With the Explorer Update, even after rescuing all creatures in an area they will respawn again so that you can complete remaining puzzles and collect collectibles. What’s more, if you are having trouble locating all collectibles’ locations, we’re introducing a new bot that is joining Vic and Tabitha on their mission — the Scout Bot. Interacting with it unlocks all the locations of the optional content in that region. This is totally optional, but we hope it helps you not miss out on any elusive findings! Patch Notes: Major design changes and improvements: Creature respawn system has been implemented to make sure all the secondary activities along with Avapedia completion can be done even after rescuing required amount of creatures for the main quest; A new bot has been implemented at the end of each biome. Upon an interaction with one, all the missing collectibles will be shown on the map (zoom in to see those) for that biome to make sure players can collect them all; More detailed information on those two changes can be found in the developer’s post here.
