A strange world. Quick expeditions. Lots to think about.
Bauble is a single-player adventure strategy game where you play as newly-sentient creatures exploring their young and volatile planet.
A new planet, diverse creatures, and many creative strategies for survival.
Bauble is a real-time adventure strategy game about creatures on a planet where sentience is just emerging. You play as several small denizens with unique perspectives, learning for themselves what's friend and foe. Unbeknownst to them, this volatile planet teeming with life has attracted the attention of something far, far older.
Bauble is built to be inviting for players new and old. No experience required as you embody a critter learning about its world.
Simple to learn and play, fun to watch and share.
You power up your character as you play (through upgrades called Ideas), fight enemies at a pace that rewards positioning over reflexes, and unlock different paths through the world depending on the choices you make.
Combat is real-time but unhurried and enemies have readable behaviors. As you learn how creatures act, your in-game encyclopedia fills in, and a good plan of attack goes a long way. Two runs won't feel the same, and the differences go deeper than combat.
In story mode, investigate the sudden collapse of your ecosystem. Play as a trio of small creatures over several chapters and find out who or what is responsible. Each chapter is a puzzle to solve, and reveals more of a complex story from your unique and yet limited perspective.
In challenge mode, take what you've learned and apply it to a longer run, earning a score for your build and your performance through the level. Develop strategies for your favorite critters, compete with friends, and beat your personal bests.
The World of Bauble
A lot's going on at once. Sentience has just emerged across several species on this young planet. Everything is new to everyone, and it's hard to know who's friend or foe until they greet or bite you.
You play as small denizens with unique perspectives, trying to figure out what's happening to their planet – complicated by the fact they just became aware of it at all.
