Beasts of Maravilla Island

You play as Marina Montez, an aspiring wildlife photographer who visits Maravilla Island with her grandfather’s journal and camera. Its protective magic is fading, and documenting the island’s wonders is part of an effort to restore belief in the magical.

Explore three ecosystems—the Singing Jungle, the Glimmering River, and the Painted Plateau—by running and climbing through their paths. Find and photograph more than 50 kinds of fantastical creatures and plants, including distinctive animal behaviors.

Some encounters require you to cooperate with wildlife to solve puzzles, such as helping animals or drawing them out. Adjust camera angle, height, and zoom; collect multiple shots in a photo book and choose which images to display. You can revisit chapters to find missed photos.

Players who enjoy the game often highlight its imaginative creatures, colorful island environments, and calm, low-pressure focus on exploring and taking photos. Some appreciate filling the photo book and learning about the wildlife through the journal, while others find the experience too short, linear, or simple; enjoyment often depends on wanting a brief, relaxed photography adventure.
