Botanica Announced
12 March in the year of our Lord 2024, Calgary,
Alberta, Canada | Second Fiddle Studios is thrilled to announce
its first title, Botanica, which will arrive on Steam, itch.io,
and Newgrounds later this year.
Tiny But Mighty
In the mystical world of Botanica, even the smallest creatures
dream of greatness. This captivating 2D side-scrolling
platformer welcomes players into a magical realm where botany
and magic intertwine. Explore Botanica’s lush world as a
Sproutkin–one of the smallest and weakest creatures of the
realm. With only its meager strength, Sproutkin sets off to
challenge the most dangerous bosses of the realm. Should it
prevail, Sproutkin will face the most dangerous god of all, an
entity not even the strongest creatures dare to challenge.
One Small Step for Sproutkin
Embarking on your adventure as a Sproutkin, you must rely on
your strategy and skill to explore the world. Players can slide,
hop, and drop through levels using Botanica's simple control
scheme, encountering various enemies and puzzles. Defeating
enemies grants ability seeds, allowing Sproutkin to absorb
different techniques for melee or ranged combat. Drop these
seeds at any time in exchange for new abilities throughout your
adventure; the further you travel, the more abilities you’ll
uncover! With four distinct worlds, Botanica offers a unique
host of challenges and enemies. Boss encounters await you at the
conclusion of each world, testing your Sproutkin’s ability in
melee combat!
A Bite-Sized Experience
Botanica features digital frame-by-frame animation and a
charming art style. Whether you're a seasoned platformer
enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, Botanica offers a unique
and rewarding experience. During your adventure, interact with
other creatures of the realm who advise you on the challenges
that lie ahead. Fans of Hollow Knight and Kirby will be
captivated by Botanica’s narrative, engaging gameplay, and the
opportunity to test their mettle against fearsome foes.
