A pretty good point and click adventure. No dialogue or anything, just a creepy world where you play this weird bulb shaped kid. The visuals are what really attracted this to me after being recommended it. I found the puzzles fun and not too stressful . The game is about 2hrs for anyone that is interested.
This game is... decent, but incredibly short. For a horror game, it's quite cutesy, and a lot of the horror factors felt more gross than scary to me. Sometimes they even felt funny. There's not much happening in terms of story. The game summary gives more story details than the actual game. However, the puzzles themselves were fun and not too complicated. The hint system is a little weird but still works well. Even when I got stuck I was never frustrated or too lost to progress. The world you explore is abstract and odd, but its rules are consistent. I liked the unique gimmick of being able to take your head off, and possessing other objects and creatures made for some good entertainment. There are a few easter eggs to find. I really liked the soundtrack! It felt trippy and nostalgic in the best way. Pick this up on sale if a short, strange, and kind of creepy puzzle game is what you're looking for.
If you're willing to ignore the absolutely bull amount of trial and error this game requires only to be completed in less than three hours even with that trial and error, this is worth it. It's oddly charming despite being extremely gross. The type of cartoon gross-factor you'd see in The Adventure Time or Courage The Cowardly Dog, but turned all the way up. Overall it's a cute story about a boy who loved his grandpa and his dog with easy puzzles. It's good to remember: Bulb Boy doesn't have INERTIA. In the rolling/flying/swimming segments he will stop exactly where you last clicked except if you're on a hill/in a draft! This tip will spare you a lot of pain in the sewers and the last level especially.
The music is great, the visuals are super unique, and the story is weird in a good way. It’s honestly more disgusting than scary, but that kind of adds to its charm. I Ran into a few small glitches, but nothing too serious. I just reloaded and kept going. The only annoying part was the final boss, it kept crashing on me. Ended up switching to windowed mode just to finish it. Other than that, really solid game. Glad I played it :)
