Our take on Bloat
The experience is structured as a six-part puzzle journey: players manipulate circuits, colors, and shapes across distinct reliquaries, without combat, enemies, or death.
What is Bloat?
Bloat is a calming puzzle game built around gliding movement and solving puzzles, with no action, enemies, or death.
Players manipulate circuits, colors, and shapes as they advance through six reliquaries. Each reliquary has a distinct environment and its own challenges. The controls are simple, and puzzles become straightforward to complete once their solutions are found. The game is family-friendly and takes an average of 2–5 hours to finish. It is localized into 15 languages, including Afrikaans. Its psychedelic setting draws inspiration from African beadwork.
