Inky Blinky Bob

Players take on the role of a detective dispatched to investigate unexplained signals emanating from a chain of isolated islands controlled by the secretive biotech organisation Quantum Corp. What begins as a routine mission quickly spirals into a violent, otherworldly mystery, uncovering the aftermath of failed experiments, mutated creatures, and the looming presence of Inky Blinky Bob itself. From storm-swept coastlines to underground laboratories, players will engage in grounded combat, uncover story-driven quests from bizarre NPCs, and pilot a heavily armed hot air balloon to traverse the skies, gather resources, and prepare for a singular, climactic aerial confrontation with the game's titular monster.

Weapons and the airborne vessel can be upgraded using materials collected through exploration and combat. Although the game unfolds primarily at night and embraces an ominous atmosphere, its presentation is intentionally stylized rather than realistic. Exaggerated character designs, surreal skies, twisted environments, and dark humour consistently undercut the horror, creating a tone that veers between menace and madness and gives the game a distinctive, immediately recognisable identity.

  • Fly and fight: Pilot a weaponized hot air balloon across a chain of surreal, hostile islands
  • Grounded combat and exploration against mutants and the remnants of failed experiments
  • Prepare for a unique aerial confrontation against Inky Blinky Bob, a colossal octopus hot air balloon monster
  • Upgrade weapons and your airborne vessel using materials gathered through exploration and combat
  • A horror-comedy tone blending psychological dread, absurdist humour, and mutant biotech horror
