I’m still not sure how to pronounce this game, but I’m very excited to see one of the Kickstarter projects that I backed finally released on Steam! The game is even 10% off till March 2nd. CreaVures is a puzzle-platformer set in a magical forest. You play as five different “Creavures,” tiny mythical creatures that each have a unique natural ability. Together your Creavures must travel deep into the dying forest, using their abilities alone or in tandem to gather essence and restore the light.
