Play Overview
Babbdi (2022) is an adventure game where you try to escape a surreal brutalist town — but really, it’s about exploiting wacky traversal tools to explore every nook and cranny. You wander the concrete jungle, collecting items that let you jump between platforms, scale sheer walls, and even fly, discovering bizarre and often inexplicable details hidden throughout the world. It's an unusual adventure playground with a strange, half-disturbing, half-nostalgic atmosphere that blurs the line between horror and absurdity.
You find yourself in the greyscale town of Babbdi and begin to explore the open world, looking for a train ticket to get you out. Unlike most traversal games, here you can't die or fail in any way; jumping off a skyscraper into the streets below is just another way to get around. From the outset, Babbdi feels eerily lifeless despite the handful of locals who tell you about their town, and never quite knowing what's going to be around the next corner instils a constant level of tension.
As you progress on your search for a way out, you find items such as a motorbike, a wall-climbing pickaxe and even a jetpack-like leafblower that offer new, physics-defying ways to traverse the world. You inevitably become distracted by the comical possibilities here, figuring out ways to reach the most inaccessible points that feel as if you've broken the game's boundaries. The catch is that this is all part of the developers' intentions: these areas are littered with bizarre, occasionally disturbing, secrets to discover, such as a trio of crazed dancers and hidden collectable items.
The result is an atmospheric game that can be beaten in less than five minutes if you know what to do, but the real fun is being drawn into mini exploratory adventures on a whim. Silly ideas like "I wonder if I could reach the top of that skyscraper?" or "Maybe I could climb through that window?" are what it's all about, and often reward you with strange but compelling discoveries.

Play Style
Duration
Play Time: This game will take between 5 minutes and 1 and a half hours to complete. If you know where to go or simply get lucky, it can be very quick. However, it's most fun when you get lost in exploration and spend hours on impulsive side quests of your own making.
Benefits
Age Ratings
At the start of the game, you encounter a sick woman lying in bed. By the end of the game, she is dead and surrounded by a swarm of flies, but her body is not gruesome. You also find a dead body floating in the water. All the characters are relatively spooky. When you approach, their heads follow you, even if that means rotating 360 degrees.
Skill Level
10+ year-olds usually have the required skill to enjoy this game. Still, it's important for parents and guardians to consider the maturity required to process the game content. You can do whatever you want; younger children can simply enjoy fooling around with traversal tools, while older children may have fun trying to beat the game as quickly as possible or find every secret.
