Low-poly recycling adventure Loddlenaut is set to release soon for PC.

Loddlenaut is set to release November 16, 2023, for Microsoft Windows (through Steam).

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:

Loddlenaut casts players as an interstellar custodian sent to a polluted ocean planet. While cleaning up the mess, players will need to recycle trash to build and upgrade powerful purification tools.

Loddle creatures respond to your ocean restoration efforts with affection and soon you’ll be surrounded with new best friends to name, feed, pet, communicate with, and even evolve.

Loddlenaut started out as a NYU Game Center thesis project in 2019 and has been in full development as a commercial release since May 2020. A demo featuring the Flotsam Flats biome – and several loddle friends-in-waiting – is available on Steam right now.

Loddlenaut is a creature-raising survival game that takes place on an ocean planet. Play as an interstellar custodian who is sent to clean up an abandoned planet polluted by a mega-corporation. Befriend local axolotl-like creatures and explore sunken corporate ruins as you revive the planet’s lush ecosystems.
