Well Dweller, a new Metroidvania from developer Kyle Thompson published by Top Hat Studios, quietly landed on Steam and is already being called the best Silksong replacement of 2026.
The game comes from Kyle Thompson, who has a track record of delivering must-play Metroidvanias. Top Hat Studios is handling publishing duties.
For players still waiting on Hollow Knight: Silksong — which has become one of gaming's most notorious cases of extended radio silence — Well Dweller appears to scratch that same itch. Metroidvanias have had a strong run in the indie space over the past several years, and a new entry from a developer with an established reputation in the genre is worth paying attention to.
Well Dweller is available now on Steam.
