Shell may be diminutive and feline, complete with a button dedicated to meowing, but she is indefatigable. Seemingly intimidating enemies — a haughty woman who hoards her treasures, or an untrustworthy snake who uses dice games to swindle passers-by — inevitably trip over their own avarice like the villains of childhood fables. Undisturbed by their antics, Shell continues on, uniting a sprawling world.
