Mission Briefing & Operative Dossier

You are Platty the Platypus, an amphibious operative equipped with natural bio-electrical sensory organs and venomous calcaneus spurs. Deep beneath Victoria's Yarra Valley, the malevolent Dr. Toad-Dozer has enclosed the Healesville wetlands inside an automated perimeter, deploying guard patrols, drone networks, and industrial searchlight mechs. Your mission: infiltrate through the sanctuary drainage network, cross the roaring Yarra rapids, traverse Melbourne's midnight thoroughfares, and reach the ocean estuary to rescue your newborn sibling!

⚡ Electro-Reception Radar

Hold ▲ to charge your bill's electrolocation ampullae. Release to emit a sonar pulse that stuns nearby sentries, blinds drones, and reveals hidden yabbies through walls.

📦 Cardboard Box Disguise

Press L1 while stationary on solid ground to slip inside "The Bill Box". Guards cannot identify you as long as you remain motionless within their vision cones.

💥 Venom Spur Strike (CQC)

Sneak behind patrol guards and press ■ to administer a 15-second silent knockout with your hind ankle spurs (+500 points!).

🌊 Amphibious Diving

Platty can swim and dive into water channels. Press ● to dive submerged beneath searchlights. Keep an eye on your O2 gauge before surfacing!
