Enter Bahlam, a sunken city of the Old Gods, located deep in the
South Atlantic Ocean. Following a shipwreck, adventurer and
maritime archaeologist Nikolay Bernstein regains consciousness
36.000 feet under the sea. He’s severely wounded and unwillingly
connected to a supernatural Buddy-unit. Searching for answers about
his displacement our main protagonist digs deep into the lost
undercity, gradually realizing an ominous presence hollowing in its
shadowed caverns.

On your journey home you will share your fate with a friendly tribe
of mining creatures, the Wozan, who fear the Old Gods and strive to
get back to the surface since their ancestors had been enslaved
5000 years ago. Some of them were able to flee and founded secret
colonies deep inside the sunken ruins, others are still exploited
by the hostile creatures that have overtaken the city since the Old
Gods suddenly disappeared.

Experience real non-linear Metroidvania gameplay and uncover five
distinct areas, all with remarkable puzzles, environmental hazards,
epic boss encounters and captured Wozan to uncage. Your Buddy unit
will procedurally map the area and function as a handy quality of
life tool that can be controlled at will to manipulate your
surroundings using various abilities like hacking, scanning, and
telekinesis.

Explore Bahlam with high freedom of movement like climbing,
crawling and diving right from the start. As you progress your set
of options will expand by discovering ancient weapon systems, suit
upgrades and hacking protocols for your droid. All gear will be
carefully balanced in terms of combat abilities and has to be used
selectively to overcome specific hazards and puzzles.

The local Co-Op option invites a second player to explore and
experience this adventure together by taking control over the
invincible Buddy unit. Support each other on your journey home,
solve puzzles and overcome Bahlam’s hostile maze. This will also
provide an opportunity for team-speedrunning as a very unique take
on the scene.

Outbuddies DX is a humble budget project but that does not mean it
will run poorly or lack the quality of life features. All pixel art
will scale crisp and free of distortion artifacts to your native
screen resolution. The game runs at 60 FPS. A hybrid physics engine
ensures realistic accelerations and object movements while
maintaining the pixel perfect control of the old classics. Enemy
and boss AIs are carefully crafted and will kick your ass in a
Souls-like manner! Outbuddies DX also supports various mappable
devices like keyboard, mouse and multiple gamepads to ensure you´re
able to play with your preferred setup. We listen to feedback, so
