Creatures of Ava

Environmental research scientist Vic crashlands on Ava, an alien planet filled with animals and a native people, the Naam. Ava's lands and animals are suffering from an infectious disease called the Withering. Vic's task is to learn about the planet, its history, and its people, while cleansing animals and sending them to a nearby bio-ark.

In her journey, Vic befriends several Naam and learns of their culture, and their relationship to the planet, as well as the history of Ava and its ancient people. Vic also learns the murky secrets and history of the company she works for. Animal conservation, environmental protection, and naturalism are all strong themes throughout the story.

Creatures of Ava is a 3D, open world exploration game where players rescue and tame creatures to overcome challenges and obstacles. Instead of capturing and battling wild creatures, players cleanse their infection using a magic healing staff, then tame them using a magic flute. Tamed creatures can use their abilities to access new areas, and are ultimately sent to the bio-ark as part of the ongoing rescue mission.

Creatures of Ava can be manually saved at any time, and has frequent autosaves.

Creatures of Ava features three different difficulty levels. The normal difficulty can still be quite challenging when the player encounters infected creatures, requiring well-timed dodges and efficient use of energy.

Creatures of Ava does not have an online component.
