Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is a 2020 open-world[2] adventure game developed and published by Ustwo Games. It was released on iOS, macOS and Windows in 2020, and for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in 2021. The Windows and console ports were published by PID Games along with Ustwo. The game focuses on exploring the island and conserving wildlife.
The game takes place in and around Secarral, a fictional island town in Spain. The protagonist, a British Asian girl named Alba Singh, flies from the United Kingdom to visit her grandparents for a week-long vacation. After helping to rescue a stranded dolphin, she and her friend Inés form a wildlife rescue league. The next day the mayor announces that the local nature reserve, which suffered from a wildfire, will be developed into a luxury hotel. The girls decide to collect signatures into a petition to stop this. They help with multiple cleanups, repairs and animal rescue tasks, as well as photographing and cataloguing the local wildlife to raise awareness. One of the ultimate goals is to discover an elusive Iberian lynx, which follows Alba throughout the game's story.
