And you’ll do so while also drifting in and out of reality with memories and flashbacks that set the stage for what fresh Hell may come.Īs I stated above, Bulb Boy’s entire world is shaded in classic, sickly green, giving it the appearance of a game that may have, at one time, been made on an IBM circa 1970s. You, my dear Bulb boy, must now figure out what on Earth(?) is going on, save your grandfather and dog and drive the evil from out your home.
One day, as you totter off to bed, a sinister entity from elsewhere invades you home and turns everything upside down by digging horrible and terrifying creations straight out of Bulb Boy’s imagination and memories and brights them to life. You live in a small house in the monochromatic countryside with your grandfather (who’s a…lava lamp?) and your flying bug dog. Bulb Boy is definitely another addition into this growing pantheon of creepy creations, and I’m happy to see it make its way onto the Switch, especially when the library is still new, fresh and steadily growing.īulb Boy is an unusual adventure/puzzle game that puts you in the position of the titular character, who’s head is literally a light bulb, but thankfully not shaped as such. From dark and twisted personal tales like Neverending Nightmares to crude but effective jump scares (Five Nights At Freddy’s), there’s no denying that the smaller groups have done their best to step up when certain titans of industry have decided to take their franchises in strange new directions, or simply light them on fire and never look back (we miss you, Silent Hills).
Indie developers have done an amazing job of upping the game when it comes to horror and storytelling in the last few years.
