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: Unlock the “Hide and Seek” Achievement / Trophy
To unlock the “Hide and Seek” achievement / trophy, you will need to “Evade the Queen”.
This takes place during the Dessicated Castle section of the game. It’s the red location on the map.
You can watch a video guide below.
You’ll meet up with Looter who has found a golden earring. This belongs to the Queen and she’s returned to the Dessicated Castle to look for it.
What follows is an evasion section, where you must navigate a number of rooms without being spotted by the Queen. She uses a light to search the area. If the light lands on you, you’ve been caught and you’ll go back to the checkpoint. Thankfully, the checkpoints are fairly frequently so you shouldn’t go back too far.
You’ll need to use everything you’ve learned so far to escape her, and some of it will be trial and error. You’ll need to jump, use your matchstick, move quickly and hold your breath.
There’s nothing too overly complicated so you should get through it fairly easily.
Once you reach the end, Looter will get snatched, and you’ll unlock the “Hide and Seek” achievement.
