Knytt Underground

Knytt Underground is a side-scrolling exploration platformer with a simple basic goal: the world (as the name suggests a underground cave) is about to die and so the protagonist Mi has to ring the six fate bells. Of course those are divided over the whole world (spanning about 1800 one-screen rooms) so she has a lot exploring to do. Since Mi is mute, she quickly gains two fairy followers which do the talking for her. Those have different personalities and in some conversations she can choose which one should talk, but mechanically this does not make a big difference.
