Loddlenaut lands Loddlepedia update for better loddle evolution tracking

Secret Mode :

Austin, Texas – 13 June 2024: Who's that loddle? Loddlenaut, the cozy underwater adventure from developer Moon Lagoon and publisher Secret Mode, will soon let you keep track of all the cute axolotl-like creatures you've discovered in the new Loddlepedia update, coming 27 June.

Loddlenaut's Loddlepedia update lets players look back at all the loddle evolutions you've already met and shows you how many more you can discover. Loddles have also been updated with new personalities, more information on their features, and a desire for diversity in their biomes – mix and match your loddles to keep them at peak happiness!

Fans will also get some pep in their step from the new Boost Overdrive, where certain cleaned flora and fauna will give you a faster, unlimited boost for a short time. On top of that, autosave will be added, so you'll never need to worry about losing progress when you switch off. Plus, keep an eye out for some loddles that are hiding outside of their regular biomes – it's on you to find them, clean them up, and bring them home.

As announced at launch, Secret Mode will donate 0.05GBP per sale of Loddlenaut to WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation. WDC is a UK registered charity no. 1014705. This pledge covers all net game sales over the first three years from the game's release in November 2023.

Loddlenaut is currently available for PC via Steam, where it has received an Overwhelmingly Positive review rating from players. The Loddlepedia update will launch on 27 June.
