guide, Story Pages, well dweller

The latest title from Kyle Thompson, developer of popular graveyard keeping, the Crypt Custodian and Islets, has arrived in the form of Well Dweller, a gorgeous looking Metroidvania.

Starring Glimmer, your feathered friend, armed with a matchstick, you’ll need to explore a massive world to find the seven golden feathers to rescue your flock and defeat the evil Queen.

It releases on 22 September 2026 for PC, PS5, Switch 2, and Xbox Series consoles. It’s also available day one on Xbox Game Pass. Why not check out our review?

Well Dweller: All Story Page Locations Guide

There are 23 Story Page collectibles in total. They can be found in the ‘Pages’ tab of the menu screen.

The collectible pages cover three different stories that the pages are organised into:

The Witch’s Bargain (9 Story Pages to collect)
The Dollmaker (8 Story Pages to collect)
The Lookout Tower (6 Story Pages to collect)

They are scattered across the game’s map. All but one can be found before you reach the Queen’s Castle (the final area where you gain access after collecting the seven golden feathers. You enter through The Bog area).

You can collect any of the collectibles before and after the final boss fight. There is no point of no return.

Abilities

I have listed collectibles in the order they were located, not necessarily the most efficient order. Thankfully, you can fast travel between tents once you have the ‘Tent Travel’ ability.

I have listed the different abilities below as each collectible will reference if an ability is needed. You may have to come back to once you have the ability mentioned. If the guide says “none” for abilities required, that means specifically to get the collectible. You’ll need an increasing number of the abilities to progress in the game.

There are eight abilities to get in the game.

Slingshot – allows you to throw your matchstick. It can damage enemies when you throw it, and if it sticks into a wall you can bounce on it to gain additional height.
Climb – holding A (Xbox) lets you climb up and down straight walls. You have certain amount of stamina before you let go.
Tent Travel – let’s you fast travel between save tents. You can fast travel from the map screen, just find the icon on the map and press and hold A to fast travel.
Wind Ride – lets you fly in wind tunnels, indicated by rushing wind animations.
Hover – press A midair to hover. You can use this fly across gaps. You have a short amount of time to hover, this can be extended by finding additional feathers scattered around the The Lookout Tower area (pale blue area on the map).
Endless Climb – lets you climb endlessly without falling from fatigue. Long walls are no longer an obstacle.
Wall Sling – lets you plant your matchstick in the wall using RT while you’re climbing the wall. This means you can create a platform midway up a higher wall to jump across or get higher (especially if the wall isn’t straight).
Soar – unlocked at the very end of the game, this lets you slam into the floor (Down + X) and on jumping (A) lets you take off to fly high to previously unreachable places.
