Bulb Boy may want to show off its scary moments, but there’s is a sentiment heart hidden behind the horror.īug Boy – Unfortunately during my playthrough, I hit a surprising amount of game breaking bugs. Even the more creepy a sections hint at a loving family somehow torn apart. Most obviously the flashback segments showing inane yet treasured moments, such as a picnic or that time grandpa couldn’t stay awake long enough to do some chores. That said, it’s not without some genuinely touching moments. Touchy Clicky – With its spooky exterior, Bulb Boy can firmly find it’s place in the horror game genre. Of course, the game isn’t completely without a soundtrack, becoming especially apparent during flashback sections, as Bulb Boy remembers happier times in his life to the tune of some deliriously upbeat tunes. Dark shadows create creepy hidden areas, and every footstep feels like you’re making too much noise in an otherwise silent house. Bulb Boy is as he sounds, part bulb and part boy, giving the game’s art style a unique green glow similar to an old CRT monitor. This creates an eerie atmosphere where the player truly is alone with only the hum of Bulb Boy’s glowing head for company. Oh so quiet – Not only is there no dialogue in Bulb Boy, but there’s also next to no soundtrack either. To call Bulb Boy different, is putting it lightly. As the game progresses, you’ll even take a trip, perhaps both figuratively and literally, through ol’ Grandpa’s intestines. But you can take it on the chin, as there’s an achievement to find every death scene. Often these sections require some reflexes, or you face a gruesome death. Use your wits to fend off a giant headless chicken, and attempt to flush away possibly the biggest poo in the world. However, from there, the game becomes more surreal and about as crazy as a cheese dream mixed with a four-year-old on a sugar rush. and putting Grandpa’s false teeth away before you can head to bed. The game starts fairly straightforwardly, easing you into it by tasking you with turning off the T.V. Collecting items and combining them with others to solve puzzles, in the usual point and click fashion. What the actual? – Gameplaywise, you’ll spend the most of your time locked in each of the rooms of the house trying to figure out how to move onto the next one. However, whilst these differences may pique the interest of gamers not usually enamored by traditional point and click games, they’re far from the most unusual thing about Bulb Boy. Secondly, Bulb Boy requires a little more skill from the player than just pointing and clicking, and in fact, I’m slightly ashamed to say my death count was apparently somewhere in the 50s. Yes, gone are those endless chats with NPCs about a whole lot of nothing until they give up the item you are searching for. Firstly, the game has no dialogue whatsoever. I say sort of, because it’s a little more unusual than your standard pointing and clicking affair. Bulb Boy is a sort of point and click adventure game.
