How it feels

a short point-and-click puzzle adventure that feels like a gloomy, macabre fairy tale blending cuteness with unsettling dark horror and dark humour

What players say

Players describe Bulb Boy as a short, grotesque point-and-click horror with a charmingly weird art style, but they are split on its puzzles: some find them intuitive, others say they rely on trial and error. Complaints include bugs, aimless wandering, and excessive toilet humor.
