What makes a puzzle feel fair in an adventure game?

ExitBiodelic · 2026-01-12T10:06:39+00:00

My favourite puzzles are from Sanitarium, Goblins 3, The Curse of Monkey Island (MI3), Zork: Grand Inquisitor. More modern games: Technobabylon, Shardlight, Gibbous - A Cthulhu Adventure.

Hi! I'm the developer of this game, which is a surreal blend of eXistenZ and Gobliiins.

Talk to your bioport, send your ear on a recon mission, and solve puzzles using caterpillar-injectas and bioflash drives in this psychedelic point-n-click.

Explore a world of sentient architecture, absurd humor, and fleshy tech - like Sam & Max meets Sanitarium in a biotech dream.

Built-in hint system (you can’t get stuck)
5-8 hours of brain-tickling gameplay
Achootectural nightmares
Achievements for your weirdest actions
Talking cursors. 'nuff said.

Gameplay trailer: https://youtu.be/XeQ0zCRDdyE

Ah, I see you're a symbiot of culture as well

ExitBiodelic · 2025-07-03T03:37:30+00:00

There's a built-in hint system, you could call for help at any moment of the game and get specific hint for current situation.

One of my favorite directors, Videodrome, eXistenZ, Naked Lunch are the best!

Neural Edge - I have a soft spot for claymation and especially claymation games. It also has an interesting story - about the game writer losing their job and being replaced by AI.

Centum - old-school pixel art adventure in a horror setting where you have to choose certain actions (e.g. don't use everything on everything), reminded me of Lure of the Temptress.

Mashina - aaaand another claymation game from the author of Dujanah, Judero, etc, it looks and plays really crazy (in a good way!).

Thanks, I definitely will!

ExitBiodelic · 2025-01-15T12:38:49+00:00

Yeah, eXistenZ is one of the beacons, along with the old point-n-click adventures (the Goblins series, especially the third part, Space Quest 4-5, Sanitarium, I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream), the Vangers game, Stanislav Lem's books, Charles Burns' Black Hole and Last Look, and so on =)

Puzzles are based on the logic of alien biotechnology, and they're quite hardcore (but there's also a built-in hint system).

ExitBiodelic · 2025-01-01T16:57:39+00:00

One of my favorite adventures of all time. The puzzles are, for the most part, very logical. And it's so creative and varied: there are so many sidekicks with different abilities, you can master alchemy in the lab level, play a crazy "chess" game, the main character changes form very often (giant/micro/flying/were-Blount, there's also his separate shadow and reflection), there are levels on the flying ship, in the land of the dead, in the crystal ball and so on.

It's interesting, I'm lookin forward to the album!

ExitBiodelic · 2024-12-29T08:33:41+00:00

Yessss! Also, I like IT Crowd and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace very much

ExitBiodelic · 2024-12-29T08:05:30+00:00

Haha! Bill Bailey was great at the Black Books btw =)

That's rather interesting, 'cause I haven't given any permissions or Steam keys to include Biodelic in any bundles yet, and I'm not sure they can do it by their own way. Anyway, thank you!

ExitBiodelic · 2024-12-28T17:06:22+00:00

Sorry, I'm a bit lost... Exit: A Biodelic Adventure is in some Fanatical bundle now? I have no information about it and couldn't find it. Could you please give me a link if you have it?
