The Shellwander

The Shellwander

The Shellwander is a cozy ecological exploration game developed as a student prototype.

You play as a small hermit crab wandering across polluted beaches. By collecting and recycling waste, you can upgrade your shell and gradually restore the environment.

The experience focuses on calm exploration, environmental storytelling, and visible world transformation rather than challenge or combat.
