About this game

Find your way through a bustling miniature ecosystem

Step into an abstract ecosystem where every individual matters! Observe and get to know the creatures around you in order to solve puzzles and uncover more about the world of What Surrounds Us.

Protect the environmental balance from lurking threats

Something's off, and the world isn't working as it should. A new creature is isolating the others, pulling them away from food sources, disrupting natural habitats, and threatening the balance of the entire ecosystem. Help the creatures solve their problems. Progress through the world to uncover what's really going on and find a way to restore harmony before it’s too late!

Meet unique fauna and flora

You’ll run into lots of unique creatures as you navigate this colorful world: fast ones, slow ones, friendly ones, and not-so-friendly ones. But they all seek to live in harmony and may help you throughout your journey!

Explore the world at your pace

Explore three distinct biomes - peaceful, desolated, and lush - all brought to life with an emotional soundtrack and vibrant art direction. There are no timers here, so you can drift through a laid back adventure and solve environmental puzzles at your own pace, without any pressure.
