Calling all prospective interplanetary clean-up operatives, your training begins now! 🐟
Embark on a mission to restore GUP-14, a small ocean planet that was once home to GUPPI, a mega-corporation known for its diverse product line, from soda to rockets.

Your objective is to clear the ocean of pollution and create a suitable habitat for the friendly 'loddle' creatures that call the planet home. 🐠
Try out the Loddlenaut “Ripple Reef” demo to experience a glimpse of what the full game has to offer, including an introduction to the adorable loddles. Armed with your trusty bubble gun, your task is to rid the ocean of gunk and other debris. As you progress, upgrade your equipment, and develop new tools to help you in your quest to create a clean and pollution-free planet. ♻️

Secret Mode Partners with Moon Lagoon to publish Loddlenaut 🐠
Secret Mode is pleased to confirm it has partnered with indie team Moon Lagoon to publish the upcoming creature-raising survival game Loddlenaut. Loddlenaut was first revealed in 2021's Wholesome Direct conference as the show's ‘one last surprise’ game, and it was subsequently funded through Kickstarter in July 2021. The full game is coming to PC and Mac in 2023.
Loddlenaut is a single-player adventure and survival game where players assume the role of an interstellar custodian sent to clean up a polluted ocean planet, repurposing marine debris and taking care of axolotl-like alien creatures called “Loddles”. 🐠
“Loddlenaut's announcement made a big splash with everybody in the office," says Paige Dolan, Greenlight Manager at Secret Mode. "When Secret Mode was founded last year, our core identities were wrapped up in the lines: 'We believe that games are for everyone, and that creativity has no limits. We believe quality and fun are everything.' Loddlenaut completely encapsulates those values. Combined with the game's messaging about climate care - a topic very close to the heart of our team - Loddlenaut is the perfect title to join the Secret Mode ranks."
“When we began Loddlenaut as a grad school project inspired by some games from our childhood, we had no idea where it might take us,” says Ricardo Escobar, co-founder of Moon Lagoon. “We wouldn't be where we are without our wonderful community and our Kickstarter backers. We are thrilled to be partnering with the amazing folks at Secret Mode, and with their help we can now expand our vision and bring Loddlenaut to an even wider audience.”
Please stay tuned for more information on Loddlenaut later this year. 🔫
