The Well of Wishes is a level in Keen 4. It is located on one of the three islands in Three-Tooth Lake, in the Shadowlands of Gnosticus IV. Its entrance appears to be a well, and the inside of the level seems to be the watery depths within the well.
The level is interesting in many aspects. It's the only underwater level in the Keen series, and controlling the scuba-diving Keen is radically different in it. The level being underwater, Keen can't jump or use his pogo stick, and the Neural Stunner doesn't work, either. (Note: By pressing the jump key Keen can gain more speed, though.) Due it being the only underwater level, it features creatures not seen elsewhere in the game, such as Sprite, Schoolfish, and the most famous Keen creature, Dopefish. There are also Underwater Mines that explode on contact.
The level is a huge underwater maze of tunnels, with most of them leading to dead-ends, some containing point items. Keen has to swim his way around it, and eventually get to a cave where, after a stone door frame, is the Council Member. This last cave is guarded by one or two Dopefishes, depending on the difficulty level. With two Dopefishes, passing through can be a big challenge.
