<p>Players take on the role of Vic, an explorer who crashes onto the planet alongside her companion Tabitha. It's up to Vic the players to wander around Ava and save the planet's beautiful creatures.</p> 

<p>Unlike most games, Creatures of Ava is a non-violent adventure. Instead, players will use a magical flute that will help them tame and befriend the wildlife.</p>

<p>Aside from the game's gorgeous visuals, Creatures of Ava also features a heartfelt story. It explores themes of empathy, environmental protection, and the wisdom of letting go.</p>
