About
Collect trash, pet and befriend adorable axolotl-like creatures in this relaxing aquatic adventure.
Loddlenaut is an ocean cleanup adventure set on a living alien planet. Play as an interstellar guardian tasked with cleaning up the pollution left behind by a space-faring mega-corporation.
- Explore an open world alien planet.
- Breed aquatic creatures called “loddles” that grow because of what they eat.

As you clear the planet, you'll encounter axolotl-like aliens known as “loddles”. Protect them from polluted waters and feed them aquatic fruits while making their planet habitable again. Depending on their diet, a loddle will grow in different ways and develop unique traits and abilities that will allow them to survive on this polluted planet.

Delve deeper to discover the Goddle Grotto, a hidden sixth biome home to three mythical Gods. Use the new gardening system to collect seedlings, grow your own flora, and increase each biome's resistance to pollution. Plus, track the positions of all polluters with the new Global Pollution Tracker, expand your backpack with the new Inventory Capacity Module, and earn gold versions of your gear by completing various stages, which will eventually unlock a modified final scene.
